Report by Santanu Ganguly, New Delhi: A Journey through The Dance History, aims to communicate the spirit of the Korean Dance through the language of movement and non-verbal communication. The performance seeks to break down the wall between the audience and the performer through dance movements. It embodies the spirit of movement within stillness through the mystery which harmoniously handles the energy of the universe by the control of breathing.
