Dragonfly will perform their original show, "Tenali Raman: Folk Tales of India," at the Center of Contemporary Art April 3. Based on a real-life Indian poet and the folk tales that grew up around him, the show was written by Dragonfly’s artistic director Catherine LaMoreaux and choreographed by Dragonfly company member Shauni Ramai.Tenali Raman was the jester-poet in the court of Krishnadevaraya, the Vijayanagara emperor in 16th-century India. Despite having no formal education, Tenali Raman used his brilliance and great wit to work his way into the emperor’s court. Dragonfly brings Tenali Raman to life through stories of his adventures and tricks. With music, dance, and comedy, these folk tales are delightful for both those who know the Tenali Raman stories and those new to his tale.
The show features Shauni Ramai, Anna Paone, Shailendra Khurana and Kush Mathur. Tickets cost $10 per adult and $5 per child.
