Ekah: One Breath

In Ekah: One Breath, dancers Gaurav Bhatti and Aamrapali Bhandari present a contemporary Kathak performance tracing the arc of human consciousness. Through three choreographic works, the evening moves from the seeker’s quest for truth, inspired by Bulleh Shah, to an invocation of feminine energy in Avartini, and finally to Bindu - a duet that embodies the union of Shiva and Shakti.

Each piece expands Kathak’s vocabulary with new movement possibilities while remaining deeply grounded in its rhythm, poetics, and philosophy. By weaving poetry, cycles of the moon, and the metaphors of duality, the show offers an experience of a classical dance form that is both meditative and dynamic.

Accompanying the dancers are Sankumay Debnath on vocals, Ashish Gangani on the pakhawaj, Mohit Gangani on the tabla, Manohar Balatchandirane on the mridangam, and Amir Khan on the sarangi.
