“Collectively, [Ananya Chatterjea and her company]
address the big issues of the day… taking up the task as a kind of
civic duty, a form of revolution.”

City Pages
Ashesh Barsha, Unending Monsoon, is a
danced response to a world gone mad through the overconsumption of
electricity, energy and natural resources. A world premiere, Ashesh
Barsha completes Ananya Dance Theatre’s trilogy on environmental
justice and explores unanswered questions of reparation, the
mismanagement of hurricanes and tsunamis, and a world where human
connectivity is lost and indigenous knowledge eroded. The women of
Ananya Dance Theatre tell their collective story through a unique
combination of Odissi dance, yoga, martial arts, ritualistic movement
and street theater. |
