A graceful and touching work, Rivers blends classical Indian dance and gesture with modern dance and American Sign Language.  The show explores the relationship between Amir Khusrau, one of India’s great poets, and his creative muses. Rivers features Quest Affiliate Artist Astad Deboo, world-renowned master of Indian modern dance. Created and directed by Quest’s Tim McCarty, QuestFest marks Rivers world premier.
