Does war protect the people of my country from forces of terror? Does war, as an act of self-defense, justify killing the innocent? If we live the codes of conduct exemplified in dharma, why war? As the kings of the mighty armies stood posed for battle on the fields of Kurukshetra thousands of years ago, Arjuna asked Krishna these questions. These are the same questions we are asking now, and shall continue to ask for years to come.
"The unfolding story of Dharma is really the saga of our times," remarks director, Viji Prakash. "Our current global situation is marked by war, deception, terror, and greed. This play reflects this. Every scene, every character of the epic plays out in our lives today. And yet, all is not lost. Dharma is ultimately about hope that we strive to live life with truth and integrity."
DHARMA is an adaptation of Prakash's production, Bhagavad Gita. The ensemble includes 25 dancers and musicians, including lead vocalist, Lakshmi Shankar, the voice of Sir Richard Attenborough's Oscar winning film, Gandhi, and featured soloists, Ajit Bhaskarandas and Mythili Prakash.
Viji Prakash is the founder & director of the Shakti School of Bharata Natyam, and its performing affiliate, the Shakti Dance Company. She is an Associate Professor of dance in the World Arts & Culture Department at UCLA.
Dharma will showcase at USC's Bovard Auditorium, 3551 Trousdale Parkway; Los Angeles, CA 90089 on Thursday, March 22, 2007 as part of the University's Visions and Voices Arts and Humanities Initiative. This event begins at 7:30, and is free to the general public. Seating is general admission. Parking is available on campus for $7.
