Experience Indian dance in its most soulful, rhythmic and visually stunning form.
Written in Water explores the heights of ecstasy and the depths of longing to connect the human experience with the transcendent. Rooted in the South Indian dance form of Bharatanatyam, this Minneapolis-based company is celebrated for pairing Western aesthetic with an Indian ethos. This program is inspired by the 2nd century Indian board game, Paramapadam (the precursor to Snakes & Ladders) and uses lush choreography, striking imagery and live music to delve into themes of ecstasy, longing and transcendence in Hindu and Sufi thought.
