Āhuti in Collaboration with Chitrasena Dance Company

“So beguiling, you resist blinking in case you miss a moment!” The Herald

One of the premier Indian dance ensembles performing today, the Nrityagram Dance Ensemble has the unprecedented distinction of making The New York Times’ Best Dance of the Year list two years in a row. More than a dance company, Nrityagram was founded as a Gurukula (school) devoted to Indian dance. The all-female ensemble’s daily life of intensive training and meditation produces captivating performances that are at once sensual and lyrical. For Āhuti, men and women of the Sri Lankan company Chitrasena join the women of Nrityagram’s Odissi troupe, comprising a large ensemble of dancers and musicians.

Presented in association with UCSB Dept of Theater and Dance, and UCSB MultiCultural Center
