Description

Ragamala Music and Dance Theater
from Minneapolis, MN

With a flash of the hand, the stomp of a foot and the dart of an eye, Ragamala unfurls a rich tapestry of cross-cultural choreography. Rooted in Southern India's Bharatanatyam, the Company fuses contemporary movement with this 2,500 year-old dance tradition, bringing ancient stories to life in a swirl of visual poetry. Brilliantly costumed dancers break into percussive footwork, while their lyrical limbs transform into swimming fish, soaring birds and cascading waterfalls. Accompaniment ranging from classical Carnatic music to live Japanese taiko drums and modern á cappella vocalizations promise to make this New Vic debut a "thrilling, gorgeous and delightful" (Star Tribune) event.
