Smitalay presents Sanjukta Panigrahi Mahotsav August 24 & 25, 2024 Mumbai July 20, 2024 Like every year, SMITALAY will present its SANJUKTA PANIGRAHI MAHOTSAV, celebrating the birthday of the queen of Odissi, Sanjukta Panigrahi. Every year the mahotsav is for young dancers, hence it's a Yuva Mahotsav. But this year is special. It is the celebration of her 80th birthday. It will not be a Yuva Mahotsav but will be something different and exciting. It will be a two day festival, showcasing four mother-daughter pairs of different styles and four duets in different classical styles. The mother-daughter pairs will perform together to show how the tradition of dance is passed from one generation to the next. In the duets, accomplished dancers will perform together to show the differences and similarities between their two dance forms. Saturday 24th August, 6pm - Yashwant Natya Mandir, Matunga west, Mumbai, will feature mother-daughter pairs Odissi - Sujata and Preetisha Mohapatra Kathak - Gauri and Tarini Tripathi Duets of Bharatanatyam / Manipuri - Nilesh Singha and Purbita Mukherjee Sattriya / Mohiniattam - Prateesha Suresh and Aneri Seth Tickets Sunday 25th August, 6pm - Veer Savarkar Auditorium, Shivaji Park, Mumbai, will feature mother daughter pairs Bharatanatyam - Arundhati and Sagarika Patwardhan Kuchipudi - Vyjayanthi and Prateeksha Kashi Duets of Odissi / Bharatanatyam - Mitali and Raul D'Souza Kathak / Odissi - Sarita Kalele and Ankur Ballal Tickets Info: +91 7977826885 / dance.smitalay@gmail.com |
