The 12-member ensemble cast of dancers and musicians are one of India's most illustrious cultural ambassadors, introducing international audiences to the power and magic of South Indian classical music and dances. Gajamukha debuts in the United States as a new full-length ballet based on ancient texts that date back 2,000 years. Classical yet accessible to Western audiences, Gajamukha is a spiritual, musical and theatrical drama.

People of all cultures, ethnic groups and persuasions are invited to experience this event. For more information please contact Kathleen Adamson and Brian Gadeken of Program Council at (605) 677-5334.
