Join us for the digital premiere of Nrityagram: Samhāra Revisited.
Nrityagram, India's lionized classical dance company, returns to The Temple of Dendur in
The Sackler Wing, this time in collaboration with Sri Lanka's equally acclaimed Chitrasena Dance Company. Samhāra Revisited brings together brilliant dance traditions with shared ancient roots, accompanied by a live original score.
