Guna: Light, Passion, Chaos (AS A COLLECTIVE) 

Explores the nature of creation and evolution through interpretating the three qualities in Samkhya philosophy: Sattva (preservation), Rajas (creation) and Tamas (dissolution).   Guna featured 3 interpretative dances reflecting the essence of a particular quality. It is believed when the embodied one transcends these three gunas, the soul is released from the pain of birth, death and age.
