Akademi presents APOTHEOSIS: Indian classical dance at the British Museum
Presented in collaboration with Akademi & The Motion Dance Collective, this spellbinding performance took place in the Sir Joseph Hotung Gallery of the British Museum on the evening 15 November 2019 to a live audience of over 1000 audience members. Devised in response to the Museum's South Asia collection, it brought the objects to life and charged them with the life-force they were created to hold.
Following the galleries prolonged closure since March 2020, we are premiering this video to celebrate South Asia Heritage Month 2021. We hope you enjoy.
