ICMCA presents AHAM SITA - Dramatic Bharatanatyam dance and Spoken Theater

ICMCA is honored to present  AHAM SITA (I Sita):
Premiered in Chennai on 6 March 2015, Aham Sita combines dramatic dance and spoken theatre.

Five crucial scenes from Sita’s life are introduced by other women characters from the Ramayana –  Urmila, Surpanakha, Ahalya and Mandodari –
to trace the evolution of the protagonist from a naive ingenue to a mature woman with an identity of her own.

While the dialogues are in English, the songs in 6 different Indian languages– verses from Valmiki (Sanskrit), Kamban, Arunachala Kavi (Tamil), Tulsidas (Avadhi), Indumati Kaushik (Hindi), Ambai (English). However, they are all understood quite clearly in the context.

THE TEAM:
VIDHYA SUBRAMANIAN – dancer, actor
GOWRI RAMNARAYAN –  actor, director
B CHARLES – lights & sound
