Music and Dance
Crystal, MN-based Katha Dance Theatre presents an Indian dance show called Pourush – The Masculine at the O’Shaughnessy Theater in St. Paul on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 PM. This show features a fusion of two very different Indian dance styles: Chhau and Kathak. Chhau dance is a martial dance popular in the northeast India, whereas Kathak dance is a classical dance tradition from northern India. For this performance, KDT has brought in a slew of performers from India, including the internationally known Chhau dance stars Rakesh Sai Babu and Rajesh Sai Babu. (Read the New York Times’ glowing comments on Rakesh Sai Babu here.)

In Pourush, the warrior princess Chitrangada falls in love with legendary soldier prince Arjun, but he scorns her lack of feminine charm. Heartbroken, she begs the god of love to change her. Her wish is granted and Arjun is infatuated with the transformed beauty. But when war threatens the country, Chitrangada must remove the mask.
