In House Productions & Programs
Presenting an exquisite repertoire of dance-dramas, the Dance Company produces captivating dance works based on Indian Epics, Mythology, Legends, and Folklore. The In House Productions & Programs has evolved a systematic training programme for dancers whereby consistency in the quality of the dance-dramas remains the focal point.
Shri Ram
This dance-drama showcases the larger-than-life story of Lord Ram, from his birth to his Rajya Abhishek. This show has travelled to 35 nations over the past 66 years, performing multiple times in India. The production is a wonderful weave of choreography, dance, music, costumes, lighting, and various other elements.
Shri Krishna
Based on the popular Indian epic of Lord Krishna, this iconic production is staged annually for a week on the occasion of Janmashtami. This Lord Krishna version is one-of-a-kind in Indian cultural history, with original music, dances, costumes, jewellery, sets, and more. The show is performed by our in-house trained and developed artists.
Meera
A musical masterpiece based on the life and songs of Meerabai, one of the greatest saint poetesses of medieval India (16th C). A devotee of Lord Krishna, wherever Meera went through the effervescence of her poetry, she spread the message of liberation and urged an inner awakening.
Chakravyuha
A gripping dance-drama based on the legend of the young hero, Abhimanyu, as depicted in the epic of Mahabharat. This is the story of Abhimanyu who represents youthful enthusiasm and selfless valour.
Durga
This is based on the Hindu mythology of Goddess Durga who is primarily revered for conquering the unconquerable demon, Mahishasur. The production brings out both the auspicious and ferocious aspects of the Goddess – life on one hand and death on the other.
KaalChakra
An abstract and philosophical work of choreography inspired by the Padma Purana, deviating from Kendra’s mythology-based dance-dramas. Parikrama is a state of mind which forms an integral part of the Indian psyche. It plunges into and emerges from the cycle of birth and death.
Khajuraho
A dance-drama adaptation of a fictional play depicting the origin of the famous temples of Khajuraho in Central India, built in the 12th century. A lyrical and romantic presentation attempting to capture and portray the sentiments behind the sculpting of the world-renowned sensuous sculptures seen on the walls of Khajuraho.
