SANGHAMITRA - (Samskritam) (1981)
"…there was
power in the Dhananjayans ‘Ashoka Sangamitra.'. The veteran dancers tempered
the fiery words with sensitivity and wove short nritta passages into the
dramatic tapestry"
|
"Synchronized
action, blinking eyes, careful finger movements and outstanding muscular
control are the unconventional centerpieces of the action."

Bangor Daily News, Friday, November 19, 1993

"Enchanting
fusion of dance, music, mime and theatre..."

of India… Sanghamitra truly dazzles"

"The Dhananjayans
in their choreography have shown a keen sense of geometry of group formation.
The dance synchronization was generally of a high order. Particularly imaginative
was the second scene with the sculptors at work showing the lion capital
of the Ashoka pillar and other typical aspects of Asokan architecture."

"Captivating,
scintillating, enlightening, impressive, outstanding….it is a novel venture
with a religious theme and will be received well not only here but also
in Srilanka and other countries where Buddhism is deep rooted."
