Pagrav Dance Company

Kattam Katti transports you to Uttarayan, a world-famous festival taking place in Gujurat, North India where millions of people from different cities, religions and social classes come together to fly kites in a unique event marking the transition from winter into summer.

Tapping into the competitive chaos, creativity and colour of the event, Pagrav Dance Company brings to life stories with enchanting lyricism, exquisite technique and strong drama. Founded by acclaimed dancer, choreographer and teacher Urja Desai Thakore (recently BBC Young dancer choreographer), the company creates work rooted in Kathak as a dance style and storytelling form which Thakore weaves with other contemporary elements including visual design by Simon Daw (Rambert, National Theatre).

Created and performed by a new generation of British dancers of Indian heritage and accomplished musicians playing live, we are invited into the highs and lows, loves and losses of the festival and ultimately of our connections with each other.
