A mesmerising synthesis of softness and strength, Pallavi through Abstraction celebrates pure dance and form, seamlessly woven with live music by NADA (Safuan Johari and Rizman Putra).“arresting to watch… the intensity of the dancers’ performance is palpable” – FiveLines“a fitting conclusion to a ground-breaking series” – The Straits TimesChoreographer: Raka MaitraDancers: Raka Maitra, Sandhya Suresh, Caroline Chin, Anushka GhoshMusicians: NADA (Safuan Johari and Rizman Putra)Lighting Designer: Daryl Norman SohUpdatestag:peatix.com,2021-02-26 09:59:112021-02-26 09:59:11The event description was updated.
