About The Event
Enter the enchanting world of The Arabian Nights, where tales of kings, queens, princesses, adventurers and magical beings come alive through dance, theatre and storytelling.
At its heart is Scheherazade, whose extraordinary stories unfold night after night, revealing women who challenge expectations, confront their fears and choose their own destinies. Guiding us through this world is a flamboyant Genie, an enigmatic storyteller bringing magic, mischief and theatrical flair to the tales.
Meet Scheherazade, who dares to challenge King Shahryar; Morgiana, whose intelligence and courage save the day; Sindbad, who confronts their deepest fears and embraces their true identity; Peri Banou, who discovers that love need not mean giving up their world; and Jasmine, a princess who dreams of life beyond palace walls.
Featuring 75 dancers and students of Nrityakosh, this spectacular production brings together belly dance, Egyptian folk dances, Indian influences, theatrical choreography and striking stage imagery.
Choreographed and directed by Debapriya Das, founder of Nrityakosh, The Arabian Nights celebrates the 9th anniversary of Nrityakosh, marking nine years of dance, learning, creativity and artistic exploration.
Welcome to an evening of magic, music, movement and unforgettable stories!
