Perth Festival presents Songs of the Bulbul - a moving new solo performance from Aakash Odedra Company.
Drawing on the Sufi tale of the nightingale and the rose, virtuosic kathak footwork meets contemporary expression in a meditation on longing, sacrifice and release. Hypnotic rhythms, live/recorded voice and rippling fabric conjure a world where devotion becomes dance and silence sings.
Whether you're a long-time lover of South Asian dance or brand new to it, this is a rare chance to experience poetry in motion - intimate, precise and utterly transporting.
