Cypher explores the multi-layered relationship between Bharatanatyam, mathematics, geometry and the idea of codes or cyphers - languages with hidden meanings.
 
Cypher will be performed as a double bill with the critically acclaimed Ether, featuring an original music composition by the New Delhi based, MTV award-winning composers Midival PunditZ.
