Tickets are now available for all of our Mehek UK tour venues!
A new, mesmerizing piece of dance theatre that you won’t want to miss in this one of a kind collaboration between Aakash Odedra and Aditi Mangaldas, the great South Asian dancers of their respective generations. Centred around a mature woman and a younger man, Mehek delves deep into their intricate characters, challenging norms and redefining the very essence of love. Watch as the stage transforms into a canvas where rhythmic tales of desire unfold, entwined with the elements of nature. The mirrors, akin to the calming waters of the sea, reflect the duality of their love story—the tranquil surface and the tumultuous waves beneath. Through these mirrors, the performance reveals that love is not only a personal journey within oneself but also a profound connection and exploration through the other.
Derived from the Hindi word for fragrance, the title alludes to the enduring power of memory and the essence of love itself. Mangaldas, alongside Odedra in her first ever duet, weave together a narrative that celebrates love in all its forms, it is raw, authentic, and infinitely resonant.
Mehek will preview in the UK at the Peepul Centre in Belgrave, Leicester—an intimate venue in the heart of our community here at Aakash Odedra Company. Afterward, it will grace stages across the country, ensuring you don’t miss this extraordinary performance. Venues and dates can be found below;
