Celebrating Divali
Dance, music and song come together in Celebrating Divali, a theatre show at Laaktheater in The Hague. Dancers from renowned dance schools and live musicians jointly celebrate the triumph of light over darkness and hope over uncertainty.
Divali, the Hindu festival of lights, stands for hope, togetherness and the power of light. Celebrating Divali brings that meaning to the stage: through movement, colour and sound, dancers and musicians build a show that speaks to young and old alike, regardless of background.
Dance from classical Indian to Bollywood
The dancers come from renowned dance schools and cover a wide range of styles, from the refined shapes of classical Indian dance to the vibrant energy of Bollywood. Numbers such as Mere dolna sun and Madhuban me Radika form the sonic landscape of the afternoon. Musicians, including Prewien Pandohi Mishre, provide live accompaniment and give familiar melodies a warm, immediate feel.
