Event Description

Ragamala Dance Company's 30th season continues with Fires of Varanasi, presented March 15, 2023, at 7:30pm at McCarter Theatre Center, 91 University Place, Princeton, NJ. Tickets start at $25 and are available at mccarter.org/season/2022-2023/ragamala-dance-company-the-fires-of-varanasi/.

Rooted in the expansive South Indian dance form of Bharatanatyam, Ragamala Dance Company manifests a kindred relationship between the ancient and the contemporary. In this evening-length performance, eleven dancers conjure a realm where time is suspended and humans merge with the divine. Award-winning creators Ranee Ramaswamy and Aparna Ramaswamy imagine a metaphorical crossing place that enters a ritualistic world of immortality, evoking the birth-death-rebirth continuum in Hindu thought to honor immigrant experiences of life and death in the diaspora. Fires of Varanasi evokes the spiritually electric city, described by mother and daughter in conversation with essayist Pico Iyer as a metaphor for the interconnectedness of life and death. The work features an original, recorded score and the lighting designs of French scenic and lighting designer Willy Cessa.
