NANDANAAR CHARITAM

"Dhananjayan gave a touching description of the story of Nandan and his vision of the Lord of Chidambaram. The music and the dance interpretation blended well, bringing alive the scenes and Dhananjayan as Nandan gave an enjoyable performance"
- Nandini Ramani, The Hindu, September 26, 2003


"That such a simply dressed man, standing alone on stage clad in a plain dhoti, without any adornment, not even the mandatory bells on his feet, could have such a profound effect on the audience might seem implausible, but when the dancer is V.P.Dhananjayan, the awe is natural, nay even expected. His 70-minute long expose ‘Nandanar Charitam' in Kalakshetra, Chennai, was one that every artist aspires for, the ultimate performance that moves an audience to tears... one that will be remembered forever..."

Such brilliance is not an everyday affair. Little wonder then that those of us left standing in the packed auditorium chose to remain so for the entire show...."
