Honoring the memory of ancestors in an intimate ritual for the stage.
In Avimukta, both dancer and viewer experience the divinity of the seeker meeting the sacred. Featuring solos by mother/daughter creators and performers Ranee, Aparna, and Ashwini Ramaswamy that contrast the ceremonial unison of the company, Bharatanatyam becomes a full-bodied, ecstatic prayer celebrating the inevitable dissolution of life. Directed by Ranee Ramaswamy and Aparna Ramaswamy.

VENUE
Ragamala Dance Company’s Avimukta: Where the Seeker Meets the Sacred will take place in The Cowles Center’s Goodale Theater.
PAY AS YOU ARE
Sunday, May 5 performance is PAY AS YOU ARE.
In order to make our performances more accessible, The Cowles Center is excited to join other Twin Cities performing arts organizations and begin implementing PAY AS YOU ARE throughout the season. PAY AS YOU ARE pricing asks those who routinely pay the fair market value for tickets to choose to pay that amount. If an audience member needs to pay less, they can choose to pay less – as little as $5 per ticket, while those who are able to pay above market price are welcome to do so.
Ragamala acknowledges Avimukta: Where the Seeker Meets the Sacred was developed in part during a technical residency at The Cowles Center for Dance and the Performing Arts. The creation of Avimukta was made possible in part through support from the The Bob and Kathie Goodale Legacy Foundation, the McKnight Foundation, Ranee and Aparna Ramaswamy's 2018 Guggenheim Fellowships, Ranee and Aparna Ramaswamy’s 2020 McKnight Fellowship, and the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
