Dive into Lord Krishna’s world in Kannanin Kaviyam, a vibrant visual spectacle that brings the stories of this blue-bodied deity to life through dance! Through various dance items, Omkar Arts showcases the exploits of Lord Krishna, highlighting tales of his valour, love and compassion.
The piece Kalinga Narthanam tells the story of how Krishna emerges victorious against the sea serpent that was taunting the livestock along the Yamuna River. In his triumph, he dances on the hood of the snake. The immense love expressed by Meera, Andal and Radha toward Krishna also depicted, followed by a fast-paced performance of the gopis dancing with Krishna.
No tickets will be issued. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Omkar Arts
Omkar Arts started in 1987 and incorporated as a non-profit arts organisation, a homegrown dance group with over 150 students and company dancers. The company endeavours to make the arts accessible to everyone, presenting relatable and contemporary versions of traditional pieces at various community platforms, temples, as well as venues such as Mediacorp, Indian Heritage Centre and Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay. Omkar Arts also hosts Kaviyum Naatiyamum Dance competition as part of Tamil Mozhi Vizha. Annually, many of their students learn and complete their margam performances to a distinguished panel of examiners. We have also hosted several student night performances with many of our students showcasing their talents. Omkar Arts was the choreographer for Chingay in 2024 and was part of the record-making event for Indian folk dance.
