Chi Udaka

23 Jan 2020 to 24 Jan 2020


Chi Udaka is an inspirational fusion of taiko and Indian classical dance.

Fetauring Taikoz and Lingalayam Dance Company with soloists Riley Lee (shakuhachi), Aruna Parthiban (voice), John Napier (cello) and Lingalayam's Artitsic Director Anandavalli. 

Featuring in Melbourne's 2020 Asia TOPA Festival, Chi Udaka is inspired by the forces of nature through the meeting of the deep earthiness of taiko drumming (Chi – earth) and the flowing sensuality of Indian classical dance (Udaka – water).

At turns delicate and dramatic, it unites the powerful music of Taikoz with the intricate classical Indian dance movements of Lingalayam, creating a kaleidoscope of aural-visual energy. A dynamic, cross-cultural partnership, the vocabulary of both companies is steeped in history and tradition, and they now come together to break ground in an explosive feast for the senses. Taikoz has set itself apart as a phenomenon in the world of performance, renowned internationally for performances that couple explosive energy and extreme dynamism with refinement and grace. Chi Udaka is no exception.
