Avimukta: Where the Seeker Meets the Sacred By Aparna and Ranee Ramaswamy for Ragamala Dance Company

Avimukta: Where the Seeker Meets the Sacred By Aparna and Ranee Ramaswamy for Ragamala Dance Company

Celebrating the beauty and vibrancy of Indian culture with an extravaganza of events that highlight the depth of India’s cultural landscape, India Week kicks off with the acclaimed Ragamala Dance Company’s Avimukta: Where the Seeker Meets the Sacred. In the work, seven dancers undertake rituals of sacred contemplation that become an ecstatic prayer celebrating the inevitable dissolution of life. The evening features mother/daughter soloists Ranee Ramaswamy, Aparna Ramaswamy, and Ashwini Ramaswamy as they honor the memories of their ancestors in a production that’s both “rapturous and profound” (The New York Times). https://www.lincolncenter.org/series/summer-for-the-city/avimukta-where-the-seeker-meets-the-sacred
