Experience Encounters with Beauty, a mesmerizing performance inspired by the mystical poetry tradition of 16th-century India. This cross-genre work brings the poetry of saints like Kabir, Surdas, and Meera to life through kathak dance, contemporary chamber music, and North Indian classical vocals and percussion. Created by Leela Dance Collective Artistic Directors Rukhmani Mehta and Seibi Lee, with music by Reena Esmail, Encounters with Beauty promises a visceral and transcendent experience. Join us at The Bankhead for a night that celebrates love, devotion, and unity across cultures. Secure your tickets now for this unforgettable event, and we encourage you to plan on arriving early: just outside The Bankhead doors at 7:15pm, there will also be a complimentary pre-show performance by Leela’s youth company, the Leela Youth Dance Company!
