A literary classic is defined by its gift of time — the ability to persevere through generations and still remain significant in the present. This gift comes from the characteristic of such works to continuously display different levels of meaning between its lines; the more you read it, the more you discover and the more you learn. It is this textual beauty that Contemporary dancer Avantika Bahl will bring out in Wonkot, her first full-length production, featuring an experimental dance theatre piece based on the short story The Elephant in the Dark Room by the Persian poet Rumi.
