Nova Dance Akshongay
Type of Art: Dance
Dates: Aug 22nd
Location: Alderney Landing Outdoor Mainstage
Akshongay (Bengali for together) is a compelling dance duet that brings together multiple influences; bharatanatyam, modern dance; Hindu mythology, French Canadian folklore; love and loss; togetherness and separation; regrets and passions; joy and heartbreak. Intimate, rich with powerful images, a hybrid physical vocabulary and theatrical sensibility combine to create a hypnotic journey.
The decade long partnership of Nova Bhattacharya and Louis Laberge-Côté provides a satisfying experience of virtuosic dancing, mature and sensitive partnering and strong emotional content.
The evocative lighting design of Montreal’s Marc Parent, and the haunting score mixed live by Phil Strong create a dramatic environment in which the work resides.
One show only! Don’t miss this spectacular dance performance.
