Dasha-Avatara: Celebrating the spirit of Hyderabad

As part of Hydourite 2013, an initiative, ‘100 Days of Celebrations’ of Hyderabad is being celebrated with the multi-art form performance ‘Dasha-Avatara’. Dasha-Avatara, a presentation by Anya, is a unique multi-art form combining music, dance, storytelling and sand-art. Featuring artists of repute viz. Anasuya (music), Dr Anupama Kylash (dance), Kanth Risa (sand artist) and Deepa Kiran (storyteller), the production showcases different stages of evolution using the allegory of Dasha-Avatara from the Hindu mythology on the 10 incarnations of Lord Vishnu.

The performance organised as part of the 2nd edition of Hydourite will be held on September 21 from 7pm at Ashiana Banquets, lane opposite Taj Krishna at Banjara Hills. Chandana Khan, IAS, Special Chief Secretary, Tourism and Culture, Andhra Pradesh will be the chief guest for the event.

Dasha-Avatara highlights the unique philosophical underpinnings of each of the 10 avatars viz. Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, Parashurama, Rama, Krishna, Buddha and Kalki. With Dasha-Avatara, viewers can experience art through sound, sight, movement of body, slithering of sand, words, music and more significantly through the magic that happens when all of these come together!
