Kuruntokai - The Interior Landscape, draws form an anthology of 400 Tamil love lyrics, written between 100-300AD, that entwine human love with our environments. Their English translation, by the celebrated poet A. K. Ramanujan, has introduced Indian and Western readers alike to an unfamiliar and fascinating literary tradition.
Juxtaposing the structural clarity of Bharatha Natyam with the sensuous fluidity of Kuchipudi (two of the seven classical Indian dance forms), this work invites the audience to explore the extraordinary journey into the ‘interior landscape’ of human love.
