YAMA – A contemporary dance performance

L’ Alliance Française de Pune in association with the French Embassy in India, the Institut Français Inde, Avayava, Laboration Art Company, and the Kaveri Group of Institutes invites you to a contemporary dance program called YAMA with Laura Arend, the choreographer and the troop: Patrick Entat, Lola Mino, Olivia Caillaud, Nitsan Maragaliot.

Their piece is inspired by Buddhist philosophy around yoga and by Laura Arend’s travels in India. The Sanskrit word YAMA signifies self-control, austerity, restraint and moral duty. In opposition to this idea, the dancers will introduce their spectators to a dark world that reflects the shortcomings of daily life and the loss of the essential. The piece will explore our reality as a mirror of our society and our lifestyles; our selfishness which is particularly good at causing ourselves and others to suffer; our capacity to judge and ignore the views of others; our need to own that makes us dream everyday about what we cannot obtain, in spite of the bitterness that it evokes.

This piece is constructed as a journey leading to liberty and the emancipation of the self. For Dance is an extraordinary path to freedom, personal growth, healing and happiness.

When: Sunday, April 16, 7 pm

Where: Shakuntala Jagannath Shetty Auditorium, Erandwane, Pune
