SHARIRA / SHARIRI - HELD WITHIN

Natya Dance Theatre premieres Sharira / Shariri - Held Within

Choreographed by Hema Rajagopalan, the work is inspired by Saint Ramanuja's philosophy which expresses the idea that all beings are interconnected and dependent on a larger divine force.

Using the classical Indian dance theater form, Bharatanatyam with contemporary sensibilities, the work follows the journey of a river flowing towards the ocean - a reflection in ego, control, surrender and connection.

Join Natya for a musically luminous, meditative, and visually breathtaking experience.

Thursday, March 19th at 7:30 PM
Friday, March 20th at 7:30 PM
Saturday, March 21st, 2026, at 12:00 PM

At The Dance Center of Columbia College, 1306 S. Michigan Avenue, Chicago IL 60605
