GAMELAN CUDAMANI in "Odalan Bali"
An offering of Music & Dance

Bali is known worldwide for its music and dance. But in the village of Ubud, in Pengosekan a new music is forging ahead: Çudamani's bold and cutting edge music compositions and dance choreography is created collaboratively and resonates with both traditional and contemporary audiences. Never performing solely to entertain tourists, the 26 member Çudamani ensemble will travel to USA and Canada this fall, to present it's critically acclaimed production of "Odalan Bali: An Offering of Music and Dance" in twelve cities from Oct 18 – Nov 19, 2007.

"(Cudamani) quietly rebels against the formats that traditionally shape folkloric performances..."

"there is no doubt that the performance brought us closer to the essence of a culture than most touring or touristic performances ever can, making us question and perhaps reject the ways that non-western or pre- Western traditions are commonly presented on our stages." Lewis Segal, Los Angeles Times
