Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago

An evening-length work by choreographer Aparna Ramaswamy with co-artistic director Ranee Ramaswamy and jazz saxophonist/composer Rudresh Mahanthappa. Rooted in their shared bicultural identity and how it has influenced their artistry in distinct ways, the artists take inspiration from the transformative poetry of medieval India to explore American identity, global citizenship, and the divine. Aparna, Ranee, and Rudresh lead an ensemble of 6 dancers and 5 musicians including guitar, South Indian flute, percussion, violin, and Rudresh on sax.
