Aditi Mangaldas's Lost in the Forest excavates liminality... The performance meticulously layered the very language and soundscape of Kathak in order to alternatively throw us out of our comfort zone and lead us to a collective crescendo... In her power-packed dance, Aditi personified the hope and resilience of a single human being thriving against all odds in a grand but brutal scheme.
