The Indian community of St. Louis joins hands in celebrating 75 years of India’s Independence.
“Samarpan” is an artistic rendition of the Indian freedom struggle
against British colonial rule. This dance-drama has been conceptualized,
written, and directed by Guru Prasanna Kasthuri, the Artistic Director
of Soorya Performing Arts, in St. Louis. It depicts events beginning
from the 16th century, marking the arrival of the East India Company,
weaving its way through the resistances in North-South, East-West, every
part of India, culminating with the events that led to freedom in 1947.
It reminds us of the not-to-be forgotten sacrifices of the brave men
and women who fought valiantly to get India out of the shackles of
British rule. Historical events showcased in Samarpan will be depicted
in five languages (Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Bengali) by more
than 120 artists from India, USA and Canada.
