While the temperature was 34 in the corridors and was the same even with fans inside the Veene Seshanna Bhavana, Ganabharathi, Kuvempunagar, the lights shining bright on dancers on stage raised probably to 35, yet during the 34th edition of Articulate Festival curated by Mysore B. Nagaraj for Articulate Trust for Arts, the four classical dancers danced with élan despite sweltering heat.
This was on the 17th March, 2019. The audience too were elegant to sit through the nearly two-and-a-half hours of seamless series of concert that showcased three Bharatanatyam and one Odissi performances all in solo format. Two artistes were from Bengaluru, one from Nagpur and another from Bangladesh.
