Pujarini or the Court Dancer; produced in order to pay tribute and homage to a great poet of India- Rabindranath Tagore. Rabindranath Tagore’s dance dramas are a combination of dance and songs, in which his unique style is known as “Bhab-Nrityo” or dance according to the poetry and meaning of the songs. This production was a joint collaboration with Mrs.Sephali Chaudary; an attempt to bring together the various dance forms of India by fusing them into Tagore’s songs and music. Pujarini is a story about a Court Dancer who sacrificed her life for Buddhism during the reign of the great-grandson of Emperor Asoka, Emperor Ajatoshatru; who decided to revive the Vedic form of worship in the face of widespread worship of Lord Buddha. She became immortal through her death; which was a complete surrender to Lord Buddha.
