From the Persian word meaning light or brilliance, Roshni is a mesmerising fusion of dance and live music that transports audiences on an uplifting journey of rhythm, connection and joy.
Internationally acclaimed artists Sonia Sabri and Sarvar Sabri present a captivating show that brings together the power of Kathak dance, virtuosic live music and soulful vocals, all driven by the exhilarating rhythms of table percussion.
Renowned for its dazzling footwork, lightning-fast spins and expressive mime and gesture, Kathak is one of the world’s great classical dance traditions. In Roshni, intricate movements weave seamlessly with a rich musical landscape inspired by South Asia, the Middle East and Europe.
Rooted in the traditions of North Indian Kathak and reimagined through Sonia’s distinctive British perspective, Roshni is both deeply personal and universally resonant. Celebrating cultural exchange, shared humanity and the richness of our global community, this intimate and uplifting production leaves audiences inspired, energised and illuminated.
Running time: 1hr45mins + interval.
