Srinidhi Chidambaram’s ‘Chennai – A Margam’ at the Bharat Kalachar managed to capture the city’s many fleeting moments. ‘Mylai,’ composed by celebrated vocalist Aruna Sairam, took the form of a varnam strung out of Papanasam Sivan’s famous compositions such as ‘Kapaali’ and ‘Karunai Seyeida’ and worked well for Srinidhi to express her love for the indubitable part of the city: Mylapore with its old world charm, the devout clamouring around the Kapaleeshwara temple and the buzz around the myth of it. A final tribute to poet Subramanya Bharati ended this new margam on a note of patriotism gone astray.

The performance by Smt. Srinidhi Chidambaram on Chennai A Margam is excellent and it definetely captured the moods of the City as it was rightly pointed out. I look forward such wonderful ideas in the dance form from her.
