Mayura: Blue Peacock
September 18 - 20, 2014

Choreographer Sonali Skandan uses classical poetry and literature to weave vivid images of the peacock from Indian myths and legends – from the powerful ancient Mayil Virutham which praises the peacock as Lord Muruga’s vehicle, to the lilting epics of Kalidasa describing the peacock in the rains, as a reminder of Ram’s longing for Sita, to the love songs of Andal and Mirabhai. The original music score has been composed by the renowned composer from India, Rajkumar Bharathi.
