Raghavan uses classical and modern dance, along with music, poetry and projected images, to explore the idea of women in ancient Indian epics and the contemporary efforts of Indian women to gain equality. The poets will be portrayed by Indian actor Partha Chowdhury. Also on hand will be Natraj, a jazz quintet known for its inventive adaptations of North Indian and West African traditional music, and the Nrityanjali orchestra, an ensemble of musicians from India who perform Carnatic music, the classical music of India that traditionally accompanies the dance. Tickets are available at the Student Union Box Office, 775-5544. Shahensha and Hum Aapke Hain Kaun 2 p.m.
All events are free and open to the public unless stated otherwise.
