Suspended in air, US dancers on a high in Delhi
New Delhi: High on the glass and steel facade of the multi-storey LIC building in Connaught Place here, they looked like butterflies against a shimmering surface. But they were a group of US dancers suspended by cords and swaying to semi-classical western music.
The hooded dancers were clad in loose red body suits. The music at the 120-ft architectural milestone designed by noted architect Charles Correa filled the busy business hub with its lilting notes on a nippy Friday afternoon.
The cords were held by hooks attached to the designer iron scaffolding on the ledge of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) building near the roof.
Their aerial act combined elements of modern dance, free-flowing body movements, acrobatics, mountaineering and a circus trapeze gymnastics.
