Kattam Katti transports you to Uttarayan, the world-famous kite-flying festival where millions of Indians from different cities, religions and social classes flock to Gujarat to mark the oncoming of spring. Tapping into the celebration’s competitive chaos, creativity and warm hues, a web of relationships is woven and tested.Through the making of this work, PDC has been proud to support the development of an exciting new generation of British dancers, musicians and composers.
