Weaving together poetic text and ritual - accompanied by a striking live musical score by three musicians on percussion, flute and vocal - the pair will express Trimurti through themes of motherhood, miscarriage and post-partum. Drawing inspiration from multiple dance styles - including Kuchipudi, Bharatanatyam, street dance and contemporary - this is a bold new dance-theatre work from two new generation South-Asian female voices.

To conclude Milap's Spring season, Timeless will bring its celebration of Indian dance to The Lowry on Wednesday 22nd April - where exceptional artists offer fresh creative voices within centuries-old traditions. Featuring Elena Catalano (Odissi), Kinga Malec(Kathak), and Santosh Nair (Bharatanatyam).
