Megha Sandesha (The Cloud Messenger) is a 4th-century work by Kalidasa,
India's most famous Sanskrit poet and playwright. This ancient work has
been transformed into a visually beautiful and easy to understand
dance-drama by the renowned dancer, music composer and choreographer, Sri
M.V. Narasimhachari of Chennai, India. Monica Cooley, his senior student,
and a cast of 15 other dancers bring this production to a diverse American
audience. Please visit http://www.kalanivedanam.com for more details about
the program and cast.
This is an excellent opportunity to introduce your friends to the great
beauty of India's traditional arts. Part love-story and part travelogue,
Megha Sandesha tells a timeless and universal story of love, separation and
reunion. A demigod banished to earth for a minor transgression sends a
message of hope to his beloved wife in the heavens, through a passing rain
cloud, the Megha. As the Megha travels north across India, Kalidasa's
poetry describes the great beauty of his country and its people. Presented
through beautiful dancing and music, interesting choreography, and colorful
costumes, this dance-drama can be enjoyed by one and all.
This production is funded in part by grants from the Tennessee Arts
Commission, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Metro Nashville
Arts Commission, and generous contributions from Ray Dayal (Dayal Hotel
Management Group), Lata and Tarun Surti, and Dr. B.N. and Sumedha Somayaji.
