The Shiri Dance Ensemble collaborates with French contemporary dance photographer Anne Maniglier to present “Dance and the City”. Described as a flamboyant mosaic of diptychs – a face-to-face confrontation, between moving, emoting cities and moving, emoting performers.

The performance traverses a-day-in-the-life of a Bangalore citizen and follows through with an unfolding of moods as the day wears on. From a calm morning to a hectic afternoon … all the way to an exciting evening.
