Kandyan Dance: a ritual dance tradition that can be traced back to pre-Buddhist times. It was only in the 1930s, with the emergence of Chitrasena, a virtuoso in the traditional dance forms of Sri Lanka and his revolutionary work in bringing the dance to the stage, that this ancient art form was given new life. Performed by Chitrasena Dance Company (Sri Lanka). At our Outdoor Theatre until 16 Oct, Sun. esplanade.com/dansfestival #esplanade #singapore #dance #free #kandyan #traditionaldance #culture #arts #dansfestival
