A poetic response to climate change… Navarasa Dance Theater presents A Story and A Song-a theatrical performance weaving classical Indian dance, martial arts, aerial arts, theater, and live music inspired by the ancient tale of a woman who transforms into a flowering tree. Sourced from South Indian folklore alongside Native American stories from Richard Erdoes and Alfonso Ortiz, interweaves timeless narratives with contemporary themes of environmental degradation, regeneration and resilience. “A woman can become a flowering tree. When she is nurtured, she flourishes. But when abused-how does she survive?” This poignant question underscores the narrative, which is delivered with wit, humor, and stunning artistic expression.

A magical mix of traditions and styles!
