Premier Bharatanatyam exponent Rama Vaidyanathan returns to Dancing the Gods with upcoming star Dakshina Vaidyanathan in "DWITA – Duality Of Life."


In "DWITA," a Sanskrit term that means duality, a mother and her daughter remind us of the dualities in that pairing. While both complement and empower each other, one symbolizes the present and the other is significant to the future. They explore how there are always two sides to a coin, two paths to a goal, and discover that, for both to coexist, both must be recognized.

The production, choreographed by Rama, is accompanied by her ensemble of musicians from India
