About

The odissi classical Indian dance style, originating in Orissa, dates back to the second century BC and is characterised by graceful, acrobatic poses that mirror sacred Hindu temple sculptures. Immanence explores the life of legendary odissi dancer and guru Kelucharan Mohapatra (1926–2004). Mohaptra's innumerable dance compositions are performed across the globe; Shahani's film is a tribute to his legacy.

Ages 15+
