Story of One, Story of Many

A powerful Kathak performance blending dance, storytelling, and live music.

A high-energy Kathak piece featuring the cyclic phenomenon of South Asian classical arts and philosophy – where there is no beginning or end; incorporating Nritta (pure dance) and Nritya (expression of narrative) to capture the first beat of a time cycle and nest it until it becomes the ‘one’ again.

Choreographed by Amina Khayyam with Kathak composition collaboration with Debasish Mukherjee and accompanied by live music featuring tabla and cello – three dancers weave individual stories of migrants tarnished by media and politicians for cheap exploitation, spreading fear for those risking their lives to make a better future.
