Festival For Indian Performing Arts 2023

Kalapriya presents: Sapra Sutra : Serpent Speak created by Dr. Gowri Ramnarayan

Sarpa Sutra (SerpentSpeak) brings together dance, music and theatre to retell a chilling tale that mirrors our lives and times. In this revenge saga of ecocide and genocide spanning four generations, Sarpa Sutra underscores two elemental truths.

Vengeance is not justice. Violence generates violence as long as human beings remain willfully blind, mute and indifferent to acts of evil.

The performance will be followed by a Q&A session with Dr. Gowri Ramnarayan and members of the cast to discuss the issues raised by the play and how they relate to our lives today.
