TAGORE BEYOND FRONTIERS


  

Hey Ananya Punya — based on Tagore’s Natir Puja

Date: December 5, 2009

Presented by: Shadhona Group, Bangladesh

Directed by : Warda Rihab

Venue : Satyajit Ray Auditorium

This dance drama was an adaptation of Tagore’s poem 'Pujarini', combining the musical compositions in Natir Puja. Innovatively choreographed, using the Manipuri style of dance, with lasya and the martial arts, this dance drama highlighted the conflict in ancient India that had arisen between the dominant Brahmanical religion and the newly emerging Buddhist philosophy of life.
