Description Here is a journey through trust, love and betrayal. Unwittingly a barren woman's dream of children makes her prey to manipulation by a serpent god. The serpent fulfils her dream and caught in a coil of desire and seduction, the woman conceives. Years later, her joy long forgotten, the legacy of her serpent children becomes too much for her to bear and leads her once again to the serpent god to seek retribution for his flase temptation. This performance combines the structural clarity of Bharatha Natyam and the sensual fluidity of Kuchipudi - two of the seven classical dance forms of India.
