Pancha Dala (Five Petals) - T01083650205Celebrating Scotland's Year of Stories, Pancha Dala is five magical stories told through Bharatanatyam classical dance style from South Asia. With a modern - even Scottish – touch, they follow the age-old themes of life, love, and loss. Most pieces are accompanied by traditional Indian Carnatic music. These dances emulate the spirit of southern India. Discover the ancient story of a young Lord Krishna overcoming the serpent Kaliya, the dreaded, multi-hooded snake. Find out how Lord Vishnu - half man, half lion - deals with the demon King Hiranyakashipu. The Scottish tragedy of a young chieftain who falls in love with a lowly maiden is retold through beautiful Bharatanatyam and contemporary dance, while another dance honours the millions of Indian soldiers who fought and died in World War 1 for the British Empire, as told through the eyes of a loving mother. This beautifully presented programme of storytelling through dance is suitable for all ages. | |
