an Indo-German inclusive dance experience
Alipur Museum
7pm
Ticket: Rs. 300/-
A diverse group of Indian and German dancers, with and without disabilities, embark on a choreographic journey exploring movement, presence, and absence. Through sensual dance, they navigate the spaces between visibility and invisibility, questioning who belongs and how bodies exist in relation to one another. This performance invites audiences to experience dance beyond physical ability, embracing difference as a source of artistic expression. It is a powerful exploration of connection, identity, and inclusion—where everybody tells a story, and every movement speaks of belonging.
