Tandava: Simon Thacker and Piah Dance Company

Scottish classical guitarist Simon Thacker has been on our radar ever since I reviewed his disc, Rakasha in 2013. Thacker's interests lie in the edge between Western classical music and Indian classical music, and for a new project he will be joining forces with India's Piah Dance Company. 

Tandava, which is at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from 18-26 August 2023 at theSpace @ Niddry St, Edinburgh, combines dazzling dance with guitar wizardry. The Sanskrit word Tandava represents a cosmic dance which is the source of the cycle of creation, preservation and dissolution, unifying seemingly irreconcilable opposites.

Full details from the Edinburgh Fringe website.
