Apsaras Arts Dance Company productions are not just about dance, they are culture travelogues. The Singapore-based group’s choreographic works have been journeying through South East Asia, offering glimpses of the history and heritage of the region.
If ‘Angkor – An Untold Story’ took the audience to the heart of the Khmer Empire in 12th century Cambodia and its ties with the Chola Empire in India, ‘Anjasa’, which means ‘path’ in Pali, explored the beauty of Buddhist temple architecture. The company’s latest presentation, ‘Amara’, that premières today at Kalaa Utsavam – Indian Festival of Arts 2020, hosted by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, is inspired by one of Cambodia’s famous sacred structures, Banteay Srei.
