Visitors will experience an incredible Double Bill from award-winning dancer and choreographer Aakash Odedra featuring two solo performances titled, Echoes and Constellation, transcending the boundaries of time and space and uniting the wisdom of the past with the innovation of the future.
A mesmerising evening featuring two pieces is choreographed  by acclaimed artists, Aditi Mangaldas and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui.
