MANOMANTHANA - Struggle, Silence, Stillness

MANOMANTHANA is a thematic solo KUCHIPUDI CLASSICAL DANCE PRODUCTION based on the works of saint-poet SRI THYAGARAJA, foremost amongst the classical Carnatic Trinity.

Interwoven with original English prose and poetry, this modern take on an ancient quest traces the arc of our protagonist from Struggle, through Silence until she achieves Stillness.
