His
facial makeup is green, his forehead
yellow, his mouth red and thick
black bars define his eyes: Arjun Raina, indian artist in western
clothing, unites in ‘The Magic
Hour’ eastern and western
stage art. When he combines the
centuries old dance from his home
country Kathakali with extracts
from Shakespeare’s ‘A
Mid-summer Night’s Dream’
and ‘Othello’, Raina
is an entertainer in the word’s
best sense…
The
solo performance is almost like
a self-imposed ordeal, Arjun Raina
himself turns into a brilliant intermediary
between the cultures.
