Theatrically thrilling and complex! Indian dance legend Sadanam Balakrishnan showcases the classical Indian dance form of Kathakali, a rich combination of ballet, opera, masque and pantomime that’s rarely performed in the U.S. Accompanied by several vocalists and percussionists, Balakrishnan’s troupe presents Nalacharitam, a mythological love story that explores how destiny’s unfortunate events can bring about greater happiness in the future.
This performance is co-presented with Sruti, the India Music & Dance Society, Philadelphia and is supported by a grant from the Knight Foundation.
