Woman With No Wings Sept. 27-29 at Cornish Playhouse, Seattle
Mohini Dance School's new play brings together English drama and Indian Classical and Contemporary dance to tell the human story behind Cleopatra's crown. This is not just Cleopatra as you’ve seen her before, but a portrayal of a woman whose struggles echo those of so many today.”
— Smitha Krishnan SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES, September 25, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Opening this Friday, "Woman With No Wings" takes the stage at Cornish Playhouse in Seattle September 27-29.
Cleopatra, one of history’s most iconic figures, was thrust into a world of chaos, violence, and betrayal at a young age. She was constantly surrounded by enemies, fighting for her life and throne. Imagine the toll this took on her mental well-being.
"Woman With No Wings" is Cleopatra’s story, reimagined as a powerful dance drama, where strength, vulnerability, and mental struggle collide. This is a raw, emotional dive into her inner world to explore a side of Cleopatra largely lost to history books.
This new play brings together drama and Indian Classical and Contemporary dance to tell the human story behind the crown. The production’s choreography, set against a backdrop of originally composed music in five languages, invites audiences to journey beyond the traditional image of Cleopatra and into the intricate layers of her humanity.
And at a time when 1 in 3 Americans experience mental health challenges, this story is more relevant than ever.
Written and directed by Mohini Dance School Founder and Artistic Director Smitha Krishnan ("Nirvana", "Ghanashyam"), the show features over 50 Seattle-area dancers and performers, giving audiences a vivid portrayal of Cleopatra's emotional and psychological battles.
