Through a combination of exquisite dance, arresting visual design and evocative music, Red explores the cultural and philosophical significance of the visual spectrum’s most potent colour. Red is a fusion of the diverse interpretations and associations of red: marriage; blood; heat; religious ritual; passion. It is a gathering, a place of release and an opportunity for reflection. It is a celebration of life. This reworking of Red, in association with Jatinder Verma, continues Sonia Sabri’s quest to present Kathak dance in a new light; retaining the purity and integrity of this classical north Indian style and fusing it with contemporary innovations and ideas. The original production, earlier in 2005, secured acclaim for Sabri‘s work, earning her a reputation for excitement and originality.
