Mavin Khoo & Temple of Fine Arts

Accompanied by female musicians, an all-male bharatanatyam ensemble from the Temple of Fine Arts Inner Space Dance perform choreography by Darbar Festival co-curator Mavin Khoo. With Chitra Poornima providing vocals, the musicians draw from the musical tradition of spiritual Bhajan hymns alluding to the spirit of Lord Rama. This new work explores three captivating scenes from the Sanskrit epic Ramayana; the abduction of Sita, the building of the bridge by Rama’s army of monkeys and the killing of the demon god Ravana.
