Courtesy Pracheen Kala Kendra, the art lovers witnessed a unique performance of Kathak dance on a socially relevant theme titled “Umeed” by a Singapore-based Kathak danseuse Sunena Gupta at ML Koser Indoor Auditorium today.  She presented her most recent production “Umeed: Colours of Hope”. 

Gupta with the guidance of Singapore-based Guru Mulla Afsar Khan,   presented a unique contemporary concept and described the story of the journey of a young girl navigating her way through struggles with mental health, chronic illness and self-image issues.
