Macready Theatre is delighted to welcome the Sonia Sabri Company with their captivating production, Roshni, on Monday 24 March, 7.30pm. This intimate crafting of classical Indian Kathak dance and live global music promises a unique and unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages.

Roshni (meaning light or brilliance in Persian) is inspired by the stories and experiences of everyday people. Featuring three distinctive dance pieces – The Call, The Light, and The Wave – the performance explores the highs and lows of contemporary life, offering a message of hope in an ever-changing world.

Through wordless storytelling, eclectic music, percussive dance, and engaging audience interaction, Roshni takes viewers on an emotional journey. The world-class live musical ensemble creates a rich tapestry of global music styles, perfectly complementing the beautiful and energetic Kathak dance. Improvisation is a key element of the performance, ensuring that no two shows are ever the same. This makes Roshni the perfect introduction to South Asian dance for newcomers and a fresh perspective for seasoned enthusiasts.

"We are incredibly excited to present Roshni at Macready Theatre," says Amie Johnson, Theatre Manager. "As part of our vision to grow our dance programme here, we are delighted to bring in an award-winning, progressive company. Sonia Sabri Company's work is truly exceptional, and this performance promises to be a visually stunning and emotionally resonant experience. The blend of Kathak dance and live global music is captivating, and we're confident that our audience will be deeply moved and entertained."

Roshni has garnered critical acclaim and audience praise for its beautiful choreography, exquisite costumes, and exceptional live music. It is a feel-good show that celebrates the connection between music and dance, leaving audiences feeling uplifted and inspired.
