The exciting young Kathak dance artist and choreographer Gaurav Bhatti is set to premiere his latest work Bulleh Shah: Seeker of Light, a solo inspired by the life and poetry of the 18th-century Sufi mystic Bulleh Shah, at the Scotiabank Dance Centre.
Blending the rich traditions of Kathak with contemporary and folk-dance influences, Bulleh Shah: Seeker of Light explores the themes of spiritual longing, self-discovery, and universal love found in Shah’s poetry. Bhatti creates a mesmerizing world through dance, sets, lighting, and costumes, with a soundscape by composer Ish Shehrawat that fuses classical North Indian music and contemporary electronic compositions.
Bulleh Shah: Seeker of Light is co-presented by The Dance Centre and New Works on March 28 and 29 at 8 pm, as part of the Global Dance Connections series. A post-show artist talkback with Bhatti will follow the performance on March 29.
