I am 4 1/2 Billion Years Old
A Bharatanatyam-inspired performance using non-verbal expression to raise global warming awareness
Umeå, Sweden, 2020
This artistic project is a collaborative work of Ulrika Karlsson and Parijat Naik. It is a poem in Swedish, written and read by Ulrika, choreographed and illustrated by Parijat. It was a challenge to create moving pictures to a recital in new language and also interesting to see how this could enhance the expressive outcome of the artist’s context.
This project explored the role of Bharatanatyam as a form of non-verbal communication. The work aims to raise awareness of global warming through the universal language of art.
‘I am 4 1/2 Billion Years Old’ was performed collectively in the public square outside Umeå University.
