Event Description

off/BEAT is a new kind of festival- a way to redefine the experience of arts and culture by taking them beyond traditional venues and into Bengaluru’s historic, heritage-rich spaces.    During these two weeks, we will illuminate the National Gallery of Modern Art, Panchavati, Sabha and more, and hold intimate dance, music and theatre performances with them as the backdrop. We invite you to join us in exploring and engaging with the city’s rich legacy in a fresh, immersive way.    

About the Performance   

Exordium emerges as a powerful voice in modern  Indian dance theatre, challenging societal structures through movement and meaning. The performance consists of two pieces:   

Jaaga Illa (No Space): In an age where cities grow not just in size but in their power to shape human existence, the piece emerges as a deep questioning of space itself. The performance unfolds within the stark confines of  a wooden box.   

Yele Oota delves deep into humanity's most fundamental connection – our relationship with food  and the act of sharing nourishment. In a world where some tables overflow while others remain  bare, this piece examines how human society has transformed food from a basic right into a marker  of privilege and power.
