This Odissi performance weaves together multilingual narratives through storytelling, dance, and music, celebrating the universality of the human experience. Transcending origins, the evening is a testament to artistic expression being a language unto itself. When words cease, expression expands.

The ‘All For Dance’ series is presented every quarter at BIC to spotlight some of the best classical dance from across India.
