Inspired by the numerous movements for justice around the world and the courage of women who refuse silence and sustain communities against injustice, Shyamali explores how dissent against oppression fuels life force. The 90-minute dance – structured in three acts (without intermission) – will be performed by ADT dancers and local community members. “Shyamali” means “dark green” in Bengali, and invokes the resilience of grass, which springs up even when trod upon. This event is part of Asian Arts Initiative’s 25th Anniversary Celebration Weekend.
