Performer Name: Sonia Sabri Company

Show Name: Nida

Show Description

NIDA is an invitation to step into a glowing, intimate space where beautiful Kathak dance and soulful Indian music meet. This brand-new work aims to capture the feeling of ‘home’ through the intricate movements and melodies of dancer and musician. Just as plants come to life in the daylight but wither away in the dark; we’ll explore how a true home can nourish us, how the loss of home might break us and how to find home wherever we find ourselves.
