SUMMARY:Kuchipudi Yakshaganam
DESCRIPTION:At 85 years of age\, Guru Sri Pasumarthi Rattaiah Sarma Garu remains one of the last living custodians of the Kuchipudi Yakshagana tradition. a dance-drama format that seamlessly integrates dance\, music\, abhinaya\, dialogue\, and the singing of padyams by the performer. Kuchipudi dancer Aishwarya Meenakshi presents this evening\, offering a chance to witness dharavus from this near-forgotten repertoire. \nDistinct from the solo recital format commonly seen today\, Kuchipudi Yakshaganam is a collaborative and immersive performance practice accompanied by a live orchestra\, preserving the form’s historic character as a total theatre tradition. This presentation serves as an act of cultural preservation and transmission. It is a rare opportunity to encounter\, celebrate\, and document a vital chapter in the history of Kuchipudi directly from one of its most distinguished torchbearers. \nCredits:\nNattuvangam – Sri Pasumarthi Rattaiah Sarma\nVocals – Ajeesh Menon\nMridangam – Sreerang kalamandalam\nFlute – Srikrishna Bhat\nViolin – Arjun MD \nSupported by: \n \nVenue: Auditorium\n\n\nRare Compositions Reclaimed\nRSVP here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSec8GFbVNo41kFYJrBdOtR2fx8zPJ0_j13yut2lYA5UASkjQA/viewform?usp=publish-editor)\n*Performer*: Aishwarya Meenakshi\n*Event Categories*: Dance\, Music\, Performing Arts
