Folie A Deux at Rangamandala

An evening of two contemporary dance solos that confront you with the honest truths of the human experience. '3am', by Prashant More, talks about the situation of an insomniac personality, at a point of disorder where the body has given up from tiredness and the mind is in complete control. 'Nobody Cares' by Deepak Kurki confronts us with his movement language as a tool to explore various social relations and hegemonies, even though they seem to be beyond reason.

Details: 7pm IST, 27th & 28th February at Rangamandala Theatre, Attakkalari Centre, Bengaluru India. Limited Seats available!
You can also watch the online show from anywhere in the world at 7pm IST on Sunday, 28th February. To book your tickets, click here.
