Chitralekha Odissi Dance Creations (CODC) presents “Nrutya Jaagarana”

Chitralekha Odissi Dance Creations (CODC) presents “Nrutya Jaagarana”, a beautiful selection of Odissi repertoire, plus the World Premiere of Bajilani Bajiba, choreographed and performed by Odissi Master Chitralekha Patnaik.

Fans of classical dance will not wish to miss Ellora, Devraj, and this showcase of the next generation of up and coming Odissi dancers, nor the exposition of ancient tradition and classical repertoire.

Featured dance pieces will include Shantakaram Mangalacharan, in honour of Lord Vishnu; Battu Nrutya, in honour of Lord Shiva; Dasavatar, the Ten Incarnations of Lord Vishnu according to the great poet Jayadeva; and Jhulanti Range, in honour of Krishna and Radha.

Come join Chitralekha, Ellora, Devraj, and the CODC troupe. If you attended any of the performances of CODC's four year epic "Mahabharata Vira Quadrilogy from the Kurukshetra Chronicles" and yearned for more Odissi, this dance extravaganza is a must-see.

Saturday, May 17th, 8:00 P.M.
