As a 16th Century monk the journey from China to India was arduous, littered with physical dangers and emotional demons. Explore the spiritual world of Samsara and trace a path across lands and through time. Enter a journey of self-discovery; encounter obstacles and overcome fear. Let go of attachments and allow light in, you may find a place of truth and peace.

Aakash Odedra Company and Bagri Foundation invite you to experience Samsara, an epic live dance performance created and performed by Hippodrome Associate  Akash Odedra (UK/India) and international artist Hu Shenyuan (China). Drawing on their skills in ballet, Chinese folk, kathak and contemporary dance to create a physical and spiritual performance.

Immerse yourself in the energy and skill of these two extraordinary dancers and the live music of composer and singer Nicki Wells (UK/Switzerland), in this epic journey of discovery.
