TEMPLE

TEMPLE shines the spotlight on the fraying of public life and the growing reality that people participate in institutions less and less.Through the language of Indian Dance and Hip Hop culture, TEMPLE explores the experiences and stories of a South Asian immigrant journey through the lens of three pivotal institutions. TEMPLE engages the audience through story-telling, visual projections, and reflection, and showcases the limitless ways in which Hip-Hop continues to transform, inspire and unleash untapped talent and power.
