Dear Friends,
Jaya Ram, Sutra Foundation’s full length and original Odissi production, will now be staged in Japan.
Jaya Ram with full cast, will be performed at Osaka and Nagahama, whilst a small 6-dancer cast will stay back to stage ‘Invitation to Odissi’ at Nara which, apparently, is already sold out.
This is an exciting tour for us as we are bringing totally new dancers who have never been to Japan. The last time Sutra brought its brand of Odissi was more than 20 years ago and this featured our senior Odissi dancers.
The present Japan tour undertaken in association with the Consulate General of India, Osaka-Kobe, is verily an extension of the celebration of the broader based cultural perspectives promoted by the Indian government in bringing the exquisite beauty of Odissi all over the world.
Odissi, for that matter, has a strong following in Japan and Sutra has performed with, and presented, several distinguished Odissi dancers from Japan.
We now look forward to connecting with new Odissi aficionados and dancers in Japan.
Wish us luck and keep sending us your waves of blessing!
Sutra Foundation
