| "FLAMES OF FUSION" Performed at the prestigious
Auditorium Theater of the DCPA, USA |
| On October 8, 2000 Manick Sorcar and
his troupe performed at the prestigious
Auditorium Theater, Denver
Center for the Performing Arts, as a part of the Colorado Performing
Arts Festival, sponsored by the City and County of Denver. Established
in 1908, The Auditorium Theatre is a 2,065-seat proscenium house
in a neo-classical style, home to the Colorado Ballet and The Denver
Center for the Performing Arts' Broadway touring shows, presented
by Denver Center Attractions. The show entitled "Flames
of Fusion", which carried fusion dances of the East and
West were basically an expression of the 'Generation X',
directed by Manick, and choreographed by his daughter Payal Sorcar.
Carrying a flavor of the preceding highly successful show "The
World of Manick Sorcar" it enchanted the audience with music,
dance, drama and magic integrated with spectacular stage settings
and state-of-the-art lighting. |

film star was awarded the Mayor's Life Time Achievement Award at
the Buell Theater, which is located next to the Auditorium Theater
- all inside the massive 4-city-block campus of the Denver Performing
Arts Complex. Invited by The Denver Film Society, Manick Sorcar
and his wife Shikha were 'special guests' at the occasion. It was
a very heartwarming reunion for both Ms. MacLaine and Manick Sorcar
as the event flashed back memories of 1964, when she had made a
special trip to Calcutta, India, to meet Manick's father legendary
magician P.C. Sorcar, Sr. at the backstage of Calcutta New Empire
Theater. |
