ReNew collaborates with Kathak Guru Shovana Narayan to promote conversation on climate through art

Conceived by Guru Dr. Shovana Narayan, along with her Asavari Repertory, Fractured Harmonies unfolds across four acts — exploring polluted rivers and seas, deforestation and its impact on communities, humanity’s growing presence in space, and the challenge of space debris. The performance culminates in Restoring Nature’s Harmony — a call to move from recognition to responsibility, and from awareness to collective action.

Drawing on the regenerative forces of Sooraj, HawaaurPaani, the production uses the vocabulary of Kathak to reflect on the interconnectedness of life and the possibility of renewal.

Speaking at the occasion, Vaishali Nigam Sinha, Co founder, ReNew, said: “Clean Energy Humse Hai is about recognising that the transition to a cleaner future is not somebody else’s responsibility — it belongs to each of us. Art has a unique ability to make us pause, reflect and feel. Our collaboration with Guru Dr. Shovana Narayan brings this message to life in a powerful new way.”

She added: “Fractured Harmonies reminds us that the choices we make today have consequences for generations to come. But it also reminds us that renewal is possible. We can restore balance when we recognise our shared responsibility and act together.”

“Fractured Harmonies is a subject very close to my heart,” says Guru Shovana Narayan. “Through dance, we have sought to engage with some of the most pressing concerns of our time. While the production acknowledges what is being lost, it also looks towards renewal and our shared capacity to restore balance. Art can encourage us to pause, reflect and perhaps see our responsibilities differently.”

Through this initiative, ReNew is broadening the public conversation around India’s clean energy transition, encouraging greater individual ownership of the journey towards a sustainable future. By bringing the message into the realm of art and culture, ReNew seeks to make climate action not just something we understand, but something we feel and engage with.
This collaboration reflects a shared belief: addressing the climate challenge requires both systemic change and individual participation. As India moves towards a cleaner energy future, the conversation must reach beyond the energy sector and become part of the larger national dialogue on how we live, consume and coexist with our natural world.
