Calcutta premiere of Shunya Se : Thursday, 29 January, Rabindra Sadan, 7pm

Shunya Se was first presented in 2003 as a Samskritiki Shreyaskar production after we had worked on it on and off for over three years. This was the first time we took on the challenge of conceiving and choreographing an entire production for dancers other than ourselves. Looking back over the years, the response to this production still astounds and gratifies us. We learnt vital lessons from the experience - lessons that have found their way into the very nodes of how Ranan approaches the realm of performance.

Over the last five years, Ranan has performed excerpts from Shunya Se at various festivals and venues across India, always surprising audiences with the grace, vibrancy and visual magic that Kathak can create. We have been working on a revival of this production over 2008, with very successful premiere shows in Chennai and Jamshedpur in November 2008. We are immensely proud to present Shunya Se again in the city of its birth on Thursday, 29 January at Rabindra Sadan, 7pm.
