"Chandalika"
SHAKTI
SHAKTI presents "Chandalika", a drama by Rabindranath Tagore. The performers depict the story of Prakriti, a young girl from the Chandal caste, who falls in love with a Buddhist monk after he drinks water from her family's well. Through drama, dance and live music, the performers attempt to bring to life this timeless social commentary on the caste system.
SHAKTI-newly-formed team of students from the Midwest; diverse individual talents, ranging from writing and playing tabla to coreographing and "philosophizing," serve to strengthen the production as a whole; members are Zarana Patel and Aparna Sule (actors), George Austin and Rupa Rao (dancers), and Sharma (music director).
