About the Performance:
Refugee Ragas is a solo dance performance, that explores the ravages of war from the experiences and perspective of women refugees. "A Story and a Song" is a new production that has been developed based on women's stories. An interactive dialogue between Kannada folk tales and Native American tales--along with narratives from contemporary grandmothers, friends & family--it is a tale of women, environment & love. The performance encompasses spoken word, dance, theater & contact improvisation in a powerful way. A Story and A Song will be touring in the US soon.
