Daksha Sheth Dance Company: Sari
India’s tradition of handwoven textiles, with its incredible range of colour, texture and design has, for millennia, been one the most visually striking elements of the Indian persona. As the quintessential expression of the weavers’ imagination, talent and skill, the ‘sari’ continues to be the jewel of the Indian handloom industry.
This spectacular show rekindles the lost playfulness and individuality of the sari in an evening of live music, aerial choreography and more from renowned dancer Daksha Sheth.
“Astonishing artistry, suppleness and energy make ‘Sari’ a timeless tableau with a soul.” - Lalithaa Krishnan, The Hindu
Part of India@UK2017 Year of Culture, a twelve-month celebration of the long and rich partnership between India and the UK, in cities across the country.
