Kintsugi

The Harbourfront Centre

Sampradaya Dance Creations proudly premieres Kintsugi, a powerful new work inspired by the Japanese art of mending with gold, weaving stories from the Mahabharata that speak to resilience and transformation. Featuring six dancers, including company dancer Rachana Joshi and Purawai Vyas, an original score, and an innovative collaboration with AI, this Indian classical contemporary production reimagines how timeless stories are told.
