DRE Three

DRE: Three by Damini House of Culture (Norway) is a contemporary dance project by choreographer and dancer Sudesh Adhana in collaboration with kathak dancer Aditi Mangaldas and puppetmaster Dadi Pudumjee.

When the great war is over, a hundred Kauravas lie dead, blasted into the earth. Their mother Gandhari aches, a thousand arrows piercing her soul. And what of Krishna, does he find solace; is this the victory he sought? Exploring the myth of the Mahabharata and exploding it through physical movement, dance and puppetry, DRE: Three creates layered conversations about power, life and death. Is the war ever truly over?

DRE: Three provokes the audience to revisit the myth in their own terms and contexts.
