About Son of the Wind<\/h2>\n

This tour-de-force kathak dance drama brings to life the hidden hero at the heart of the great Indian epic, Ramayana<\/em>. Hanuman, son of the celestial female spirit, Anjana and Vayu, the mighty wind god, proves to be an integral force behind the rescuing of the kidnapped princess Sita, through his mischievous ingenuity and indomitable vigor. It is Hanuman\u2019s actions that leads to the victory of Ram, King of Ayodhya, over the arrogant and powerful King of Lanka, Ravan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Told through dramatic storytelling, powerful movement, and exquisite costume design and lighting, this production exposes the contemporary relevance of a timeless story while capturing the hearts of all.<\/span><\/p>\n
