Pagrav Dance Company’s ‘ Kattam Katti’ takes you into the world of kites

The Hindu  

Excitement soars when one thinks of Uttarayan, the popular festival of kites in Gujarat. ‘Kattam Katti’ by Pagrav Dance Company, U.K., choreographed by Urja Desai Thakore is inspired by the festival. The dancers moved across the stage holding threads that transformed into stark red horizontal lines — this not only brought out the symbolism of the kite, but also carved a spatial dimension on stage. Kite flying is a beautiful festival with several kites adorning the sky like colourful dots. Also, the music and dance impressed as individual entities, but didn’t quite capture the emotions associated with the festival.
