Featuring the World Premier of “Radhika and Muddupalani“: a dance and music collaboration between Priyadarsini Govind, Lalgudi Vijayalakshmi, Uthra Vijay and Priya Srinivasan presenting the controversial text in performance. Although this text was banned in the 20th century, it was a respected classic in the 18th century written by the Devadasi Muddupalani. This short performance excerpt from the larger work looks at the entanglement in women’s lives as they negotiate power then and now.
