Chitralekha Patnaik, her two talented children, Ellora and Devraj, and 11 other performers make up this local company devoted to odissi, the most lyrical and graceful of the ancient Indian classical dances. Their latest offering, Glaanisanghaar, is a dance drama touching on the 10 incarnations of Lord Vishnu as detailed in the Geeta Govinda’s poem “Dasavator,” by 12th-century Oriya poet Jayadeva. The evening’s program also features three shorter works, including a solo piece by Chitralekha.—Paula Citron
