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 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.

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.
