Events Description

 
The World of Jahanara explores the inner life of Jahanara Aklaq, a 24-year-old Kathak dancer, who, in her brief life, had fearlessly began to make her mark in the dance world and envisioned a career in Canada.

Rhythmic and lyrical, Kathak is an elegant dance form that revolves around the concept of storytelling.

Choreographed and performed by Bageshree Vaze, this dance-theatre work interweaves Kathak dance, music, text and visuals to re-imagine Jahanara’s world on the morning of January 18, 1999, in the hours before her tragic death.

Jahanara’s creative potential and love for dance was never fully realized. She was killed in 1999 along with her father, the famous painter Zahoor ul Akhlaq in their family home in Lahore, Pakistan.
