Ashley Lobo’s Agni to have an international premiere in Israel

Choreographer Ashley Lobo’s dance company Navdhara is Israel-bound for the international premiere of its piece, Agni. The Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), which is the cultural wing of the Government of India, has invited the dance company for a special performance at the Suzanne Dellal Center for Dance and Theatre – which is revered as the mecca of dance.

Ashley says, “What makes it even more special is that this piece was originally commissioned by the Centre’s director Yair Vardi. So, while it’s a performance to celebrate Indo-Israeli ties, it is also a special one for me.” The show also marks the international premiere of Agni – a powerful work that gives the audience an insight into the fiery passion of human emotion, which can create and destroy all at once.

Apart from this, Navdhara will also perform at the renowned Karmiel Dance Festival 2018 followed by a special performance in Ramla city organised by the Indian Embassy.
