Sashar Zariff Dance and Anto Chan/Ranganathan Rajah

For nearly four decades, Sashar Zarif Dance Theatre has carried its work across more than forty countries, moving with the people, places, and stories that shape its journey. The company engages diverse publics through research, residencies, collaborations, creation, and performance.

Confronting the human struggle of hypocrisy, Anto and Ranganathan combine poetry, movement, and the In-between to challenge the audience’s perception of self. Art & Design, Spirituality & Religion, Love & Romance, within the pains of human limitation, this performance intentionally brings both endless and limiting elements to engage with the dichotomy of contraction and expansion.
