MYSTIC
ICK, Shailesh Bahoran, IRC, AAO & Meervaart (2025)
'MYSTIC' is a production by ICK Dance Amsterdam in co-production with Illusionary Rockaz Company (IRC), Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra, and Meervaart.
Building on his previous works, such as 'SHAKTI' and 'AGHORI', which are based on Indian philosophy and Hindu culture, choreographer and Swan winner Shailesh Bahoran in 'MYSTIC' seeks the universality of the mystical.
How can something provoke the same experience in different cultures, at different times, in various places, and among a diverse range of people?
With a background in hip-hop culture, Shailesh Bahoran collaborates with ICK Dance Amsterdam to take an adventure with the dancers from the ensemble who have a classical/contemporary background. Cross-fertilization is also sought in the music and the spiritual aspects of the culture of the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra. Six musicians will perform live during the show.
