Samsara will be touring to the United States for the first time in July for two performances at the Lincoln Center during their India Week.
Samsara, choreographed and performed by our artistic director Aakash Odedra and the renowned Chinese dancer Hu Shenyuan, is Inspired by the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. Aakash Odedra and Hu Shenyuan draw on their diverse disciplines of ballet, Chinese folk, kathak and contemporary dance to explore the 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, Samsara’s mythological storytelling merges with personal experience from two globally opposite perspectives in a seductive, astonishing journey of twin movement.
Samsara will be on at Lincoln Center on 11th and 12th of July during their Summer in the City and India Week events.
