To be honest I'm pretty thick skulled when it comes to interpreting dance and I don't know if this is what was intended but this is how I felt after watching a few times.The first few times of watching I was sitting with my heart in my mouth with no room to understand anything because Sanaya was hanging off Jai, in mid air, without a harness! I absolutely cannot get enough of this act and am watching it on a loop.
I've lost count of the number of times I've watched this ... thanks to Suyash's video, which is open on my laptop since I downloaded it 😳 This is one of those acts that you can watch again and again ... and each time catch your breath at the beauty of the act, and the danger of those lifts. I still can't get over that switch in midair to the horizontal position ... it called for split second timing and complete muscle control ... as well as amazing mental strength. And after hearing that she was injured and in pain during the better part of the act, my respect for their act as well as for both of them, as performers, just went up a few hundred notches.
The first part ... the flower unfurling ... the butterfly swooping down ... that swoop down by Jai was beautiful ... he really looked like a giant butterfly there. Another part where he swoops over her from back to front while the flower is swaying in the breeze ...on 50th watch or so, I started seeing the story in the act ... till then, I was too spellbound by the aerial lifts.
