This show, celebrating Diwali takes us through India from the 5th Century to the present, using its rich literary heritage of poetry presented through the classical art forms of Hindustani and Carnatic music, Bharatnatyam dance and the direct interpretations of the deep and philosophically rich texts though contemporary dance and music.

The themes of this show will be based around Diwali, which is celebrated in mid-November.
