"Shakuntala", one of the most celebrated Indian plays about the eternal love story of the beautiful maiden Shakentala and King Dushant of the Puru Dynasty. This rendition of the most coveted literary work of the Sanskrit language is enhanced by beauty, elegance, subtle nuances, dynamism and vibrancy in the tradition of Kathak dance. This collaboration between dancers and musicians from India and the Los Angeles based Anjani's Kathak Dance of India provides an evening of music and dance full of astounding color and pure grace.
