Warriors : An Evening of Contemporary Choreography and Ancient Indian Martial Arts
Performance
Step into a world where India’s ancient warrior traditions clash with the pulse of contemporary artistry. Warriors brings together Mallakhamb and Kalaripayattu—two of India’s most storied and rarely combined disciplines—in an unforgettable live performance that celebrates India's storied past and vibrant present.
Making history in 2019 with a landmark performance at the Royal Opera House, Mumbai, Director Benjamin Knapton and Musician Donn Bhatt return to weave a tale of strength, resilience, and innovation. This time, they bring Warriors, a visionary production where fierce pole gymnastics meets the fluid power of Kalaripayattu, resulting in a unique and astounding physical artistry accompanied by live soundtrack.
Join us for breathtaking feats of athleticism as Mallakhamb and Kalaripayattu artists perform on live music with balance, agility, and courage, defying gravity and leaving audiences spellbound.
