‘Zindagi Express’ was a dance theatre production worth remembering

The annual dance theatre production Naya Zamana has grown to become a terrific theatrical experience and a significant social one, based on the occasion, the statements and what the performance wants to say to its audience.

Outstanding in the provision of that experience, the Dharmic Nritya Sangh dance company recently performed “Naya Zamana 23: Zindagi Express” at the National Cultural Centre, an elaborate dance drama written, choreographed and directed by Dr Vindhya Persaud.

This performing group comes out of the Dharmic Sanskritik Kendra of the Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha, which produces the annual production. The Nritya Sang, over many years, has become a foremost group with a wide range of experience in Guyana and overseas, including national representation at past Carifestas. The members understand the brand of theatre offered by Naya Zamana and are highly competent in the various styles of dance and the necessary sense of drama.
