The Temple Dancer
In a South Indian kingdom hollowed out by British rule, a temple dancer refuses every attempt to possess her—by a man or by an empire.
Kalanagara, 1907. British rule has reduced a South Indian kingdom to a shadow, leaving its Raja on the throne while power moves elsewhere.
At the kingdom’s centre, a temple dancer devoted to her goddess refuses every attempt to possess her. The dance-drama brings devotion, resistance and colonial power into a single live story.
