The Art Vision will organise its 14th Sangam festival, a confluence of dance, on September 29 at the Rabindra Mandap here.
The new choreography to be presented is ‘Refugee’, a dance production which attempts to bridge the gap between the world of artistic expression and the social reality of today world. It is an artist reaction to our times intended to heal the divisions created by hate and greed through a message of peace and harmony conveyed through dance. The script is by Devdas Chhotray and music by Laxmikanta Palit. Concept and choreography is by Ileana Citaristi.
The guest group joining this year is the Sarfojiraje Bhosale Centre from Mumbai, led by Sangeet Natak Academy awardee Bharat Natyam dancer, Sandhya Purecha. The group will present ‘Arthashringara’. It will showcase Dr Purecha’s pioneering effort to break the shackles between Shastra and Sampradaya.
As an academician, she is developing an elaborate process of learning the Shastra (theory) and being a performer, she aims at achieving it through Sampradaya (practice). The music is by Manoj Desai and choreography by Sandhya Purecha.
