[Reader-list] KATYAYANI'S NEW PRODUCTION, `O'. August 25-28 2011 at Gurgaon and New Delhi ( India Habitat & Bahai Temple Auditorium)

[rohitrellan at aol.in]

O...as a symbol encapsulates multiple meanings. It is Shunya, or the great Nothingness. It is also the Primordial Egg from which all life emerges. It represents the Feminine Principle, the circle of emotions, the Water Element, Orgasm, the Limitless Universe, the Divine Absolute…
 
In this context, it is the story of two women who went through those infinite possibilities, to choose a life that incorporated struggle, bending the rules in the bargain. Revered in the end by the very men who subjugated them, these extraordinary saint-poets -- Rabia the Sufi from Iraq and Karaikkal Ammayar, the Shaivite from Tamil Nadu, were opposites in nature, but battled similar obstacles to attain their spiritual goals.
