Yashodhara - An Indian Fusion of Theater, Dance, and Music on May 3, 2014, 7:30pm
Gautama Buddha, the Shakya prince, became a world leader. Yashodhara, his wife, remains in the shadows. Yashodhara, a dance theatre production by JustUs Repertory, illuminates her plight—a single mother deserted by her husband.
Grief impels Yashodhara to search for answers that she cannot find within the palace walls. Her inner evolution explores a poignant, powerful story of human loss, sorrow, and transcendence. Using Hindi, Pali, and English narration, this experimental, multi-genre production fuses the classical and contemporary to showcase the diversity of India’s living traditions and cultures.
Asia Society, 1370 Southmore Blvd. Houston, TX 77004. For more info click here Sarpa Sutra - An Indian Fusion of Theater, Dance, and Music on May 4, 2014, 2:00pm

Throughout, serpent woman Jaratkaru urges her son Astika to stop the genocide. Can Astika save the planet?
