Nrityakosh Presents 'Arabian Nights' - A Dance Retelling Of 1001 Nights

Nrityakosh presents its upcoming dance production, 'Arabian Nights.' The production offers a dance retelling of the 1001 Nights, with a focus on the women within these tales. The event will be held on Saturday, 14th October 2023, at 4 pm & 7 PM at the JSS Auditorium in Jayanagar, Bengaluru.

With an ensemble of over 80 oriental dancers, this production will offer a theatrical experience, blending artistry, culture, and storytelling. With a focus on women characters such as Jasmine (aka Badr al Badour), Morgiana, and a gender-bent Sinbad, the production explores how their stories impact the relationship between Shahryar and Scheherazade. This 120-minute performance will be a journey into a world of djinns, princesses, slave girls, and sailors.

'Arabian Nights' is conceptualised and choreographed by Debapriya Das, marking the first performance of its kind in Bengaluru within the realm of Belly Dance. 

Nrityakosh offers belly dancing classes for individuals of all ages and genders.

Arabian Nights is a fundraiser. Nrityakosh is collaborating with Rotary Bangalore South Parade (RBSP) to raise funds for a noble cause.
