"A fine dancer, intense and intelligent."
The Times

Mosaic reveals a dynamic new spin on this classical Indian tradition inspired by the spirit of Gypsy folk and the aesthetics of Sufi artistry.
Mosaic offers dance and music as food for the soul, as ways to celebrate the joys of life as well as contemplate its meaning. Four dancers sculpt an evocative emotional landscape, driven by the rhythms of tabla, mesmeric melodies of sitar and soulful vocals.

Award winning and internationally acclaimed dancer and choreographer Sonia Sabri, collaborates with an ensemble of passionate performers, three dancers and three musicians including the world renowned Ustad Sarvar Sabri on tabla. Recognised for developing her own personal and distinctive style, Sonia Sabri and her company revisit the classical roots of kathak unveiling a fresh and heart pounding display of fast footwork, rapid spins, and amazing intricate detail of movement and gesture.

Mosaic is a high impact performance presenting powerful kathak at its finest, celebrating the raw core of the dance and embracing a rich joyful spirit.

"Cool sharp brilliance...one of the greatest talents of the contemporary Indian dance scene."
