Fires of Varanasi
Creative Residency
For millennia, Varanasi—the earth’s oldest continuously inhabited city—has symbolized the crossing place between this world and the ‘far shore.’ As first-generation Indian-American choreographers, Ranee, Aparna, and Ashwini (mother and daughters) explore the birth-death-rebirth continuum in Hindu thought to examine immigrant experiences of life and death in the diaspora and the tenacity of people and cultures across time.
