Storyteller, actress and Indian classical dancer, Flora Devi takes us into an enchanting world where demons lurk, animals talk, and the gods themselves leave their celestial abodes to take up both flute and sword.

Through her charm and talent, old and forgotten myths and legends from India and Asia come to life through the exaggerated mime, jewelled movement and intricate delicacy of Odissi dance. The canvas is splashed with colour, mystery and humour

The gaiety of the costumes, the music and rhythm of Odissi dance, the melodious voice, the facial expressions and postures all help to bring the public into this fantasy world of magic and celestial
