Waqt is a new dance production by Gauri Sharma Tripathi, one of the world’s leading exponents of Indian Kathak Dance.

The piece, partly inspired by Javed Akhtar’s poem of the same name, explores the rich resonance of Kathak, in its rawest forms. The performance features music by Niraj Chag (Bangles, Along The Dusty Road) and live vocals by Reena Bhardwaj (Yeh Rishta - Meenaxi, Main Vari Vari - The Rising, Human & Philtre).

Other renowned performers include: Sanju Sahai (Tabla), Soumik Datta (Sarod), Sweta Hattangadi Kilpady (Vocals), Hiren Chate (Tabla), Dhiren Raichura, Seema and Payal Patel.
