As a young choreographer trained in both traditional and contemporary Indian dance techniques, Pintu finds it surprising that he might need anything more than dance as a language to communicate. The British regime in India lasted for about 200 years, but the reign and supremacy of the English language and the obsession of the common Indian with it lasts till now. Not having studied in an English medium school was never a matter of concern for him until he reached the point where he needed to start speaking about his dance. For Pintu, dance is itself the strongest medium of expression. Needing another language to explain his dance to people seems unimaginable. He decided to study for an M.A. in dance but could not get admission to the only course in the country because probably he could not do well enough in the written test. He felt like he was clearly not competent enough to study dance because of his lack of writing skills in English. What happens when one language is needed to explain and justify another? What validation does his body and the way it moves need from those for whom his dance is not enough? ‘Bhasa’ ( Sanskrit for ‘Language’) is a personal exploration of the ignominy of those who failed because they could not explain their gift, talent, or art in English, a foreign language in a country, where there are 22 listed local languages. Through a series of incidents on stage, Pintu explored through dance the failure to communicate it. The performance was followed by a conversation with senior dance exponent, Smt. Priyadarshini Ghosh.
