About the INDIA TOUR 2008
This year on its 15th anniversary, Sapphire intends to travel in major cities
in India with its DOUBLE BILL production Rituranga and Positive Lives.
“Rituranga: A Symphony of Seasons” on the other hand is a creative and
contemporary interpretation of Tagore songs of the seasons and this ballet has
been celebrated right across the country and in Singapore for its colour,
energy, innovation and visual appeal.
“Positive Lives – Say Yes to Life” is a milestone in the history of dance for
a contemporary concern. While it has tackled the stigma and discrimination
caused by HIV/AIDS in a unique artistic collage of mediums and expressions,
the ballet has also made waves throughout the world be it India, Sri Lanka,
Thailand, Italy or in the USA where it has been covered extensively by media.
