THE Sonia Sabri Company present their latest dance and music performance, Salaam at The Courtyard on Thursday, July 7..

Salaam meaning ‘peace’ is a double-bill programme cleverly weaving a dialogue between live music and kathak dance, celebrating harmony, inner –stillness and the simple bliss of being alive.

Salaam combines a rare treat of tabla music by world-renowned maestro, Sarvar Sabri, who performs outstanding compositions of rhythm, with complexity and speed. The talented Shoma Dey joins Sarvar Sabri and performs endearing musical patterns on the harmonium accompanied with powerful vocals, which fuel and vibrates a resonance in the performance.

Sonia presents sheer magic through expressive and rhythmic dance with live music to take the audience on a journey with poignant metaphorical narratives, intricate footwork, eloquent gesture and rapid spins.

Salaam was originally created in response to the unrest around the world and aims to refocus and reminisce on all that is good. If you've ever wondered where beat-boxing and rapping originates from, this is a show that will reveal the roots and more wonders

Salaam will be at The Courtyard on Thursday, July 7 at 7.30pm. To book, call the box office on 01432 340555 or visit courtyard.org.uk
