Sharing Stories: Indian Classical Dance, Flamenco, and Theater Arts

With cross-cultural conversation and collaborative storytelling, Sharing Stories incorporates Indian classical dance, flamenco, and theater arts into a unique, family-friendly experience for diverse audiences. Sharing Stories begins with a Kathak-Flamenco curtain raiser featuring two dynamic dance ensembles, accompanied by live musicians from Indian classical and Spanish folk tradition. Act 2 is the feature presentation, ‘Chakryavyuh: Battle Against the Odds’, an original Indian classical dance-theater production that tells the story of a young fearless warrior - a tale of bravery, deceit, familial bonds and feuds, war strategy, and maternal angst taken from the ancient Sanskrit epic, the Mahabharata.
