Aakash Odedra Company Songs Of The Bulbul

From Tues 8 Apr View Venues, Dates & Times

British South Asian dance star Aakash Odedra made a significant splash when he first appeared on the scene, quickly racking up collaborations with numerous high-profile choreographers, including Akram Khan, Sidi Larbi and Russell Maliphant. 
Aakash’s latest solo work is inspired by an ancient Sufi myth about a bulbul songbird. Captured and held in captivity, its melody serves as a metaphor for ‘the fleeting moments of dance and an artist’s life’. 
The work is described by Aakash as a sensitive dialogue between Islamic poetry and Sufi kathak, a form of music that blends orchestral and Indian Classical tradition.
