Vismay and Between 2 Beats – Kathak by Maulik Shah, Ishira Parikh & Anart Dance Company
The renowned Kathak dancers and choreographers, Ishira Parikh and Maulik Shah along with their troupe will present Vismay and Between 2 Beats.

Wonderment –Vismay up rises as the driving force that creates an intense circle of energy. The flowing river of dance never ceases to amaze, the told and untold stories continue to inspire. A sphere in space within which rivulets of shapes and form, rhythm and music dance around creating a thick forest of beauty and awe.

Emotions, rhythm, movements and beats intuitively co-exist and co-relate in this sphere.

The distance between the two beats leads to a path to the destination which is the 1st beat – “SUM”.

B2B – a fusion of unique percussion instruments of different cultures – “Cajón” (a Spanish percussion instrument) & “MANN” (a copper pot of mannbhatt tradition of Gujarat) combined with ghunghroos create layered patterns.

Confronted with each other rhythmic dialogues emerge generating various dimension of sound.
