| Synopsis : | Sutra Dance Theatre proudly presents its major production for a Malaysia / Singapore Tour: Spellbound – an Odissi extravaganza for 2005 under the artistic direction of Ramli Ibrahim. The best Sutra dancers and Ramli will be accompanied by master musicians from Orissa, India in their first ever Odissi Gala Premiere Kuala Lumpur performance at the Istana Budaya on 16th February 2005.
Presented in Sutra’s inimitable theatrical style, Spellbound is an international production not to be missed. Characterised by its lyrical grace and fluid movements, Odissi is a subtle blend of inspiring pure dance and inimitable abhinaya or the delicate exposition of various moods and emotions. Spellbound will be the fourth time Sutra tours Odissi in Malaysia, and its second time in Singapore, fulfilling a demand by the Malaysian audience to experience one of the most beautiful classical dances in the world. New works are being commissioned for Spellbound in the effort to pioneer and forge a unique Odissi tradition with identifiable Malaysian characteristics. Sutra continues its collaboration with Guru Durga Charan Ranbir, an outstanding guru of the late Guru Deba Presad style. The latter was Ramli’s Odissi guru, who took Odissi to the outside world, for the first time, in the 1950s. It has been eighteen years since the first generation of Malaysia-trained Odissi dancers were unleashed on stage. Sutra has since then produced an outstanding bevy of multi-racial, home-trained Odissi dancers who have gained international recognition. Presented by Persatuan India Bukit Mertajam |
