Tejas Dance Presents
mahAmAyA
The Elevator Project
Using a dramatic collection of narratives and athletic movements, Tejas Dance brings you an evening of classical Indian dance - the intriguing and explosive Bharatanatyam.
Through an evening-length production in Bharatanatyam, one of the classical Indian dance forms, you will leave in a trance-like state from the combination of untethered stomps, intricate expressions, and enchanting stories. With lively spatial patterns and precarious holds, lengthy stillness in stressful bends, and eruptive explosive movements, the dancers present a new way of storytelling. Using a dramatic collection of narratives and athletic movements, Tejas Dance brings you this visually stunning tribute to Indian culture, community, and humanity.
Come early for a Pre-Show Event – 6 p.m. – 7:15 p.m.
