BELLS

The Trafalgar Square Festival 2007
Part of India Now

Akademi was proud to be part of the spectacular theatrical highlight to the Trafalgar Square Festival. Bells was a new collaborative spectacle created by artists from Delhi, London and Belgium. Internationally acclaimed artist Naresh Kapuria’s sculptures featuring hundreds of bells integrated into a new dance piece choreographed by Kumudini Lakhia (Composer Asit Desai).

Kathak dancers engaged with the sculptures in a ritualised movement sequence, leading to a dazzling aerial climax during which eight white aerialists (Theater Tol) dancing on air re-created the spirit and intensity of kathak in perfect time with the dancers below. The show was jointly choreographed by Amina Khayyam and Urja Desai Thakore with an over-all soundscape composed and re-mixed by Niraj Chag. Accompanied by live music. Special appearance by Kakoli Shankar Mishra.
