Manage episode 289556763 series 2895496
""I am from a Brahminical background. Nrithya comes from a marginalised community. So, how do we work out those politics?"" The composer and singer Nakul Krishnamurthy embarks on an ambitious project with the dancer and activist Nrithya Pillai. Can they successfully navigate caste politics and class-based structures, the reimagining of an Indian epic, the subversion of a ""classical"" art form... and a physical distance of over six thousand miles? This podcast goes behind-the-scenes of their remarkable collaboration for Counterflows At Home, 'Lal̩itam Varn̩n̩am Asuram'.
