Shivaangee Agrawal: Come Rest In Chaos
Join Us for the Final Kala Sangam Performance… Come Rest in Chaos
As we look ahead to returning to St Peter’s House, we will officially become Bradford Arts Centre in July…but before then, please join us for one final Kala Sangam performance – Shivaangee Agrawal’s Come Rest In Chaos.
Shivaangee is one of an exciting new generation of South Asian dancers and choreographers working in the UK today – combining Indian Classical dance with contemporary styles to create work that is both modern and firmly rooted in tradition. We are very excited to be bringing her work to Bradford just as we grow into a new organisation that is maintaining and celebrating its South Asian roots.
We are also delighted to be partnering with Bradford 2025 for this special performance at their pop up arts venue, Loading Bay.
Come Rest In Chaos
Do you ever feel at odds with those around you? Have you ever wanted to both belong and be left alone at the same time? Do you ever find yourself relating to different perspectives on the same truth?
Using live performance, film and illusion, Come Rest in Chaos creates four distinct sensory worlds inside the theatre, amongst which four performers dance, sometimes beside you and sometimes across from you. As they compose a rhythmic journey through intimacy, conformity and conflict, you’re invited to follow your curiosities through the space and make choices about how you want to be an audience member. A live-responsive soundscape adapts to these decisions.
Come Rest in Chaos is a multi-sensory world where the audience’s agency is dramaturgically central to the work. It has been described by past audiences as “mesmerising”, “playful”, “haunting” and “brilliant.”
