Pink Floyd's Ummagumma: Dance of Surrealism & Illusion
A solo dance to Pink Floyd's iconic pieces: 'Careful With That Axe Eugene', 'Set the Controls to the Heart of the Sun' and 'A Saucerful of Secrets'. A mysterious encounter, a wild dance, projections and lights will lead you into a world of imagination and illusion.
Shakti's exotic fusion of Indian dance and yoga with the free contemporary form gives a unique interpretation to Pink Floyd's music. Leave behind your inhibitions and enter into a world of surrealism and illusion.

Shakti grew up with the rich cultural heritage of Japan and India. She studied yoga with her father and dance with her mother (the first Japanese woman to introduce Indian dance in Japan). While receiving her MA in Indian Philosophy at Columbia University, New York she also studied modern dance with Martha Graham.
Upon returning to Japan, Shakti developed a unique hybrid form of dance blending Eastern dance traditions with Western jazz & contemporary dance resulting in an erotic, exotic and shocking effect. She has been performing worldwide to great critical acclaim. Her unique mesmerising performances have touched and tantalised audiences everywhere.
Shakti has been nominated in the top 3 in Newsweek Japan in "100 Japanese the World Respects".
