This new original work of Bharatanatyam dance explores Nava (meaning 9) and Rasa (meaning evoking inner emotion).

Navarasa is followed by a dynamic piece called Tillana choreographed by the acclaimed Delhi-based Leela Sampson. Featuring guest Carnatic musicians from India: Bharathi Venugopal (vocals), Sumod Sridhar (percussion) and Thiagarajan Ramani (flute and violin). | |
