IKSHA Creatives presents
Iksha II reimagines the enigmatic character of Ravana from the Ramayana, moving beyond his traditional role as antagonist to explore the ten nuanced facets of his identity scholar, ruler, devotee, nurturer, and more. Through a powerful blend of classical Bharatanatyam and contemporary expression, this production delves into the moral grey zones that lie between righteousness and unrighteousness.
At its core, Iksha II is a meditation on the fragility of choice, where a single moment of self-doubt becomes the fulcrum on which destiny turns. By shifting perspectives and challenging conventional character portrayals, the performance invites contemporary audiences to engage with iconic figures from our rich cultural and Hindu literary heritage through an immersive, emotional lens that does not seek to glorify or vilify, but to understand. Step into a world where mythology meets introspection, and timeless stories reveal new truths.
