Following their collaboration on Chicken Lemon Rice, Priya Ragu reunites with director Dumas Haddad on the striking promo for Lockdown. 

The dystopian visual concept highlights two dancers, who are tied to platforms in the vast desolation of an empty quarry. They’re overseen by Priya, who plays two characters: the authoritative Priya, an edgy and charismatic personality who relishes the opportunity to keep the two dancers restrained; and also the sensitive ‘lockdown’ Priya, who is open to other possibilities.

The two dancers use the power and imagination of their choreography to help triumph over their differences. It’s a representation of how society can only find unity via compromise and understanding.

Dazzingly vibrant and punchy, the video is a brilliant showcase of interpretive movement and slick cinematography, and the location lends itself to the post-apocalyptic tone of the concept.
