tala, rasa, Hellas and back’

East to West, ancient to modern – the duet draws inspiration from the moods, stories and rythmic patterns of Ancient Greek and Sanskrit. Contemporary and classical Indian dance are woven together to create a work of diverse movement and emotions.

Choreographed by Liz Lea and perfomed with Renata Smenda, Gilli O’Connell, Ayesha Hicks and Shamita Ray

Music composed by Sarah Goldfarb

Design by Gabriella Csanyi Wills
