Jan Jaati & Family

Witness a captivating double bill of contemporary dance, featuring a playful satire on family life and a restaging of a powerful exploration of tribal identity.
A dynamic evening of dance unfolds with two compelling performances that explore identity, resilience, and the complexities of human connection. The performance opens with ‘Family Tide’, a sharp-witted satire by Khambatta Dance Company (KDC). Set around an ever-present table – a space that shifts between confinement, division, and celebration – the piece examines the dynamics of family life with humour and theatrical flair. Whether symbolising a dinner gathering, a meeting place, or a circus-like spectacle, the table becomes a stage for characters to unravel, collide, and transform.
The second act presents a restaging of ‘Jan Jaati’, a moving piece that uses expressive choreography and evocative movement to delve into the struggles and triumphs of individuals navigating tribal identities in a rapidly changing world. Blending traditional and contemporary dance forms, ‘Jan Jaati’ offers a thought-provoking reflection on one of the world’s oldest surviving tribes and their extraordinary journey in the modern era.
Led by the directorial vision of Sumeet Nagdev, whose work spans choreography, filmmaking, and music direction, the performance promises both innovation and emotional depth. With KDC’s commitment to exploring contemporary themes and fostering connections between artists and audiences, this double bill offers a compelling journey through movement, storytelling, and the human experience.
