Chimera - A Dream (2015)
A dream unfolding into reality.
This production was Jainil’s first hand when he was just 14. A tribute to his grandfather after his passing earlier that year. His grandfather was the backbone of all his dance training and a huge admirer & supporter of his work. This production not only gave Jainil a platform to showcase his talent but a step closer towards his dream.

Alankar means ‘JEWELS’ and jewels are special crystals used to adorn oneself. The real jewels of life are the sweet and bitter memories that make our life fruitful and congenial. Alankar – The Little Jewels is a family dance drama revolving around a tree that is planted by the protagonists, Tarun and Maya, during their college days. This tree changes its shape and form as time passes – a metaphor for their life journey. The audience witnesses a range of energetic and soulful music representing the highs and lows in Tarun and Maya’s life.
