“Soulful, imaginative, and rhythmically contagious” (The New York Times)
With Aparna and Ranee Ramaswamy – a mother-daughter team of first-generation Indian-American artists – at its helm, Ragamala marks its 25th season with an original work that draws from traditional South Indian dance, 12th-century Sufi texts, Hindu mythology, and a musical ensemble led by composer Amir ElSaffar.
The result is an exploration of the tension between good and evil and mankind’s struggle to navigate earthly obstacles, told through Ragamala’s “soulful, imaginative, and rhythmically contagious” (New York Times) artistry.
