Naya Zamana 18 for NCC on August 24

The Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabah will be hosting the 18th edition of the beloved dancing spectacular, “Taal Dhamaal” at the National Cultural Centre on August 24.

It continues the story of “Bollywood Dreams”, but this time tells the story of a diverse group of dancers who have been granted coveted spots in a premier dance academy.

The supremely gifted dancers train with the rigour of Olympic athletes as they vie for the ultimate prize. An abandoned bride, an imperious diva, a Shah Rukh fanatic, and a love-struck Romeo are all part of the mix.

The audience will be taken on a veritable roller-coaster of emotions ranging from love and laughter to anger, sadness, and desperation.

Cutting-edge choreography, riveting drama, superb music, opulent sets and stunning costumes all lend to the feel that a film has come to the stage. The production, which is written, choreographed, and directed by Dr Vindhya Persaud, will feature a diverse musical palette reflective of 100 years of Indian cinema.

The cast comprises 60 talented dancers and actors who have been working dedicatedly to present a unique show that will be remembered for a long time after.

In addition to the Sabha’s Dharmic Nritya Sangh, Taal Dhamaal will feature Amit Shah who wowed the audience with his performance as Yash Kapoor in “Bollywood Dreams”.
Shah is the creative director and choreographer of Aatma Performing Arts in the USA. A new addition to the cast is the talented Prashant Sitaram, choreographer of the Rangeela Dance Troupe of New York.

Indhira Harry, Gina Arjoon, Zahrah Alli, Tonya Singh, Rishi Dubraj, and Ananda Latchman play the other key roles.

If you have never been to a Naya Zamana, this is the perfect opportunity to treat yourself and family to the pleasure of experiencing one.

Tickets for the production cost $3000, $2000, and $1500.

The production is supported by Digicel, E-Networks, Caribbean Airlines, and NTN.
