CONCEPT

In some of indian beliefs, Shiva (the goddess of dance, love and the deconstruction) will come back alive in an era called Kelly, to ruin the world and to reconstruct it for better. Kally ages (dark ages) is the time when people’s heart symbolically turns into a cemetery. No emotion nor any faith will have any meaning by that time. In such time, Shiva will dance. He will dance in the cemetery and while his madly dance, he will be names as SUDDHALAIYADI (a dancer on the ashes of cemeteries).  The performance is based on this image.
