On 18 November the Nirvana Performing Arts Circle will host a Kuchipudi Dance performance by Mruthyumjaya Pasumarthy from India.
Pasumarthy was born into a family of eminent Kuchipudi Bhavgavata’s with rich lineage and steeped in a pedigree dance form. He sees Kuchipudi art as an unbroken thread of cultural memories of myth, religion, music, and rhythm that connects him to India.
Acclaimed for his exquisite performances across India and USA, Mruthyumjaya offers a Kuchipudi performance, a 2000 year-old traditional Indian dance style that fuses dance, music, and theatre.
Mruthyumjaya has given several performances (Solo & Ballet) in almost all the major cities in India and abroad like USA under the guidance of his father and various renowned contemporary dancers.
The father and son duo also received certificate appreciations to their contributions for the cause of Kuchipudi Dance from Guinness Book of World Records Organization and Common Wealth Games Delhi during the years 2009 and 2010 respectively.
The concert will be held at The Barn Theatre in the Opera House on Friday 18 November 2011 at 7:30 pm. Tickets cost R30. Please contact Mahesh on 082 556 9847 or Mannie 082 635 2019 for further information.
