Navatman’s Drive East
La MaMa
August 11- 17
"…accurately subtitled a Journey Through South Asian Music and Dance — is an extraordinary feat, covering more ground than many other festivals. In seven days, it presents 26 performances, none repeated, of music and dance. Six of India’s classical dance forms — Bharata Natyam, Odissi, Kathak, Kuchipudi, Mohiniattam and Kathakali — will be represented. The music includes Carnatic and Hindustani vocals and individual performances devoted to the tabla, sitar, flute and other instruments. Few of us in the West know nearly enough about these rich and compelling genres; I hope this festival recurs in years to come," writes The New York Times writer Alastair Macaulay. Find out more here
