Synopsis

Rasa! Colours of Emotion is a captivating bharatanatyam dance-theatre production that brings to life the rich spectrum of human emotions through the grace of classical Indian movement, original music, and a specially-crafted script. This one-of-a-kind performance reimagines age-old Indian fables and folklore for contemporary audiences, weaving secular stories that honour valour, wit, and the enduring power of romance.

 

Experience wonder, love, and humour as expressive choreography and dynamic storytelling unfold on stage, drawing you into a world where tradition meets innovation. With evocative visuals, compelling rhythms, and a fresh narrative voice, Rasa! is an immersive celebration of timeless tales retold for today.
