ÇUDAMANI, the 26-member music & dance ensemble from Bali, Indonesia presents ODALAN BALI featuring cutting edge new works as well as rare classical forms of Gamelan repertoire in 12 cities across USA and Canada Oct-Nov, 2007. Cudmanai's Odalan Bali is an exquisite synthesis of sound and motion that captures the exhilarating splendor and creative life force of the Balinese temple festival. Shimmering polyrhythms of gamelan music and the dazzling brilliancy of dancers fill the stage where every movement, gesture and musical note is crafted and executed with emotion and energy. Cudamani's Odalan Bali transports the audience with its music, dance and spectacle and brings to life the vibrant world of the Balinese people.
