"Shobana Jeyasingh's We Caliban raises questions about Caliban's identity and language, reflecting on colonialism, but does not fully explore these themes."
"The choreography blends contemporary dance with bharatanatyam, showcasing Jeyasingh's innovative approach, yet the execution feels constrained by historical context."
We Caliban, choreographed by Shobana Jeyasingh, combines contemporary dance with bharatanatyam, reflecting on colonialism through the lens of Caliban from Shakespeare's The Tempest. Jeyasingh's previous works have been celebrated for their fresh perspectives, but We Caliban falls short in fully exploring its themes. The piece raises questions about Caliban's identity and language but does not delve deeply enough into these inquiries. The choreography and video design elements are present, yet the overall execution feels constrained by the weight of its historical context.
