- Aspects like music & costumes, have been experimented upon to create a different feel & look.
- The production is interspersed in various sections with our own interpretation of both the characters & their conflicts.
- The hallmark of the production has been that both the artist community & the common man have been able to relate to it and it has certainly
created a new benchmark in the Indian contemporary dance scene, with a tremendous response from audiences both in India & abroad.
