Krishna Love Re-Invented Performances in North America

NEW YORK – The Malaysia-­‐based Sutra Dance Theatre comes to North American for six performances of Krishna, Love Re-­‐Invented. The production is a colorful and passionate dance that incorporates love, romance and the pastoral God, Krishna. Malaysia-­‐based Sutra Dance Theatre will be performing six shows throughout North America.

The performances are a rare opportunity to see the authentic Odissi—one of the oldest forms of Indian dance. The dance combined with the themes of desire and romance provides audiences with an emotional journey through true love.

Show Schedule:

November 1st: Festival Place, Edmonton, Canada
November 4th: Flushing Town Hall, New York, NY (fundraising event for Cerebral Palsy)

Ramli Ibrahim, the concept and artistic director of this performance is known for his distinctive interpretation of traditional Odissi dance. He describes the performances as a “dance that is a celebration and liberation of the body mind and soul.”

Ibrahim depicts Krishna as dark with lotus eyes and covered in peacock feathers. The performance follows Radha’s passionate and all-­‐consuming love for Krishna.

Krishna, Love Re-­‐Invented premiered in Chennai, India in January 2014 and garnered praise at the Music Academy Annual Dance Festival. The production has enchanted audiences throughout India and Malaysia and is bound to capture the hearts of audiences in America and Canada.
