Aakash Odedra Company and Bagri Foundation invite you to enter the world of Samsara. Inspired by the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, Samsara is a spellbinding piece that traces the steps we take, both forward and backward, in search of our higher selves.Two extraordinary dancers Aakash Odedra (UK/ India) and Hu Shenyuan (China) use their disciplines of Kathak, Chinese folk, ballet and contemporary dance to explore the Buddhist notion of samsara the wheel of life, birth, existence and re-birth. This compelling journey of self-development, fear and love traces a path across lands and through time, exploring the idea that if we let attachments go and allow light in, we might find a place of truth and peace.Drawing on thinking and imagery at the heart of Buddhist philosophy, Samsaras mythological storytelling merges with personal experience from two globally opposite perspectives in a seductive, astonishing journey of twin movement.Co-presented with Dance City and Gem Arts
Ages: 12+ (contains very mild nudity)
