To Lagi Gopa Danda - Classic Odissi by Manasi Tripathy at Phoenix Center for the Arts

Mesmerizing Odissi performance by the brilliant and inspiring Ms. Manasi Tripathy, a distinguished dancer and teacher who carries forward the pure legendary lineage of Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra. In this piece filled with romance, wit and divine drama, we find Radha in a delightfully fierce mood, standing her ground against Krishna. She boldly informs him that because of his endless mischief against the Gopis, the road to Gopapura is now strictly off-limits to him!
