UNDER the theme ‘When Fates Collide’, Naya Zamana 20 was launched at the Guyana Marriott Hotel last Saturday. During the brief programme, Dr. Vindhya Persaud, director and choreographer of the production, promised a spectacular performance on August 29 at the National Cultural Centre.
The guests were treated to a glimpse of what is expected in the upcoming Naya Zamana. Meanwhile, presentations were made to longstanding dancers and appreciation was expressed to those who had sold tickets and made costumes for the production over the last 20 years.
The cast also made a special presentation to choreographers Vindhya and Trishala Persaud. The highlight of the evening was a 15-minute video chronicling the Naya Zamana journey over the last 20 years.
Naya Zamana is a renowned dance production which has gained international recognition and attracted sold out audiences for the past 20 years. It is now a fixture on Guyana’s entertainment and cultural calendar and has been raising the bar in the performing arts each year.
The original choreographies in a multitude of dance styles along with the breathtaking backdrops, dazzling costumes and unique concepts have thrilled thousands over the past years and continue to be one of the leading dance productions of its kind in Guyana.
