Join Artist-in-Residence Swati Biswas for a traditional Indian dance performance of her work, Seasons of Life, a series of four short dance vignettes that explore the parallels between seasonal change and life phases at Mount Auburn Cemetery.
The original choreography will be presented using semi-classical Indian music along with narrative text from the poems “The Rain” by Robert Creeley and “The Day is Done” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, both of whom are buried at Mount Auburn.
The event will take place in Story Chapel.
Event capacity: 100 people
