This production choreographed by Chetna Jalan has emerged from the meeting and interaction of several thoughts over the past few years. The most important factor in this production what will attract audience is Samaveda Chanting.  Sama Veda Gandharva Gayan has always enchanted Chetna Jalan, not for its textual meaning but for its awe inspiring phonetic sounds. The energies released from the sound and the inner silences are imbibed from Laban Movement Analysis and Zen Meditation. It can be noted that Dr. Sun Oak Lee, the pioneer of Korean Zen Dance and choreographer as well as Secretary General of Asia Pacific Performing Arts Network (APPAN) came to Padatik Dance Centre and conducted a workshop on the project ‘Chant,’ sharing her knowledge on Buddhist rituals through dance. The music of the chant will be the new synthesis of   Indian Vedic Chant and Korean Buddhist Chant.
