ICK / Shailesh Bahoran’s MYSTIC at Theater Rotterdam

26th March.

Building on his earlier works, such as SHAKTI and AGHORI, in which Indian philosophy of life and Hindustani culture form starting points, Shailesh Bahoran searches for the universality of the mystical in MYSTIC. How can something in different cultures, in different times, in different places, and in all kinds of different people bring about the same experience?

With a background in hip-hop culture, Shailesh Bahoran goes on an adventure with the dancers of the ensemble with a classical/contemporary background in collaboration with ICK Dans Amsterdam. Cross-pollination is also sought in the music and spiritual aspects of the culture of the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra. Six musicians play live during the performance.
