WORLD MUSIC PRESENTS INDIA’S NRITYAGRAM DANCE ENSEMBLE April 29 – May 1 at Zero Arrow Theatre “One of the most luminous dance events of the year!” – New York Times
WORLD MUSIC presents India’s Nrityagram Dance Ensemble on Friday April
29, 7pm, Saturday, April 30, 8pm and Sunday, May 1, 3pm at Zero Arrow
Theatre, Intersection of Arrow Street and Massachusetts Ave., Harvard
Square, Cambridge. Tickets are $30. For tickets and information
call World Music (617) 876-4275 or buy online at www.WorldMusic.org.
Dressed in ornate costumes of flowing, colorful fabrics and
silver jewelry, the Nrityagram Dance Ensemble uses an exacting and
elaborate vocabulary of movement to tell stories based on ancient
myths, folk tales and love ballads. From the outskirts of Bangalore in
southern India, this world-renowned ensemble transports viewers to
enchanted worlds of magic and spirituality with the sensuous flow of
Odissi, the oldest of India's seven classical dance forms. Its
sculptural poses and soft, curving body lines suggest ancient Hindu
temple sculptures.
