Aurora Indian dance troupe tackles tough issues

September 26, 2014

A diverse group of dancers, musicians, and artists is coming together to put on an all-original production called “Gyaan … Truth Through Knowledge”, with performances on Saturday and Sunday at the Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Pkwy.

Inspired by a string of tragic events like the Aurora theater shooting, a Delhi rape case, the Sandy Hook shooting and the Sikh Temple shooting, “Gyaan” asks the question: How many tragic events have to unfold before we are numb to the pain? Through the universal language of dance and music, “Gyaan” shows an East Indian perspective on overcoming tragedy and loss.

The first half of the show features a live ensemble of 10 musicians, the poet laureate of Aurora Jovan Mays and aerial dancers soaring above the audience.

Tickets are available online at www.lakewood.org/tickets or over the phone at 303-987-7845. Mudra Dance studio, a 501(c)(3) non-profit Indian dance studio and school, has been an integral part of the Colorado arts community for more than 20 years.
