Trance is a quest to present Indian performing traditions in a collage of rhythm, kaleidoscope of                                                colors, sensual poetry and traditional Bharatanatyam. The ever-evolving mythology of Siva, avatars                                                                of Vishnu, Mary Magdalene among other streams of consciousness is apposed in a re-contextualized                                                      form rich in movement and visual imagery. Complimented by a sonic fabric ranging from Indian                                                              classical, qawwali, Bollywood and electronic music for audiences to be regaled and transported                                                                  Into the primordial state of being in Trance.
