BroadStage presents Ashwini Ramaswamy’s “Let the Crows Come” on Friday, April 7, and Saturday, April 8, at 7:30 p.m. Evoking mythography and ancestry, “Let the Crows Come” uses the metaphor of crows as messengers for the living and guides for the departed. The Indian dance form Bharatanatyam is deconstructed and recontextualized in a series of solos and trios, with collaborators Alanna Morris and Berit Ahlgren, who infuse the work with traditions of modern and African Diasporic dance, and the Gaga movement from Israel. The original live score features South Indian instruments, electroacoustic cello, and sound sampling and turntables. Tickets start at $40. 1310 11th St., Santa Monica. broadstage.org.
