Choreographed by Janak Khendry
Music by Ashit Desai

On the occasion of its 33rd anniversary, the Toronto-based Janak Khendry Dance Company, in collaboration with the Inclusive Design Research Centre and Inclusive Design Institute at OCAD University, proudly presents the world premiere of KAAL – TIME, a fascinating and innovative dance work that tells the extraordinary cosmic and modern story of time. KAAL – TIME runs January 26-28, 2012 at Harbourfront Centre’s Fleck Dance Theatre.

KAAL is the Sanskrit word for “time.” Based on three years of research of the ancient Indian scriptures – Rig Veda, Atharva Veda and Shveta Upanishad – and works of western physicists conducted under the guidance of eminent Vedic scholar Dr. Tulsiram Sharma, KAAL – TIME tells a fascinating story about the history of time: how time came into existence 14.93 billion years ago with the Big Bang; how galaxies, planets, elements, night and day cycle and seasons were created and how time will come to an end. Time is experienced in both a cosmic dimension and a modern perspective.

Conceived and choreographed by Artistic Director Janak Khendry with music by India's Ashit Desai, Kaal – TIME is performed by an ensemble of fourteen accomplished dancers who perform a myriad of dance styles ranging from classical Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Odissi and other South Asian disciplines to western contemporary.
