Event Details

In the New England premiere of Samavesha (2018), husband and wife Indian dance stars Srikanth Natarajan and Aswathy Srikanth’s gender-bending transformation of characters in the Indian epic the Mahābhārata suggest this classical text was ahead of its time. The characters in the Mahābhārata are not just male or female, they transform between male and female (and vice versa) in a process of their becoming. Samavesha—a Sanskrit term—means the “study of self,” implying an active practice, a dance of discovering truth in oneself and one’s relationship to the world.
