A Cross-Cultural Solo Dance Performance. The body is the instrument of Rakini's expression of her cultural heritage. In her continuing evolution of cross cultural dance vocabulary, Rakini draws from the lyrical sensibility of Odissi and the dignified structures of Bharatnayam to blend the traditional and the innovative. In The Virtual Goddess Tour, Rakini Devi presents four works from the haunting 'Suttee' a piece based on the Hindu ritual of widow immolation to the haunting satire of The Virtual Goddess and Rising, Rakini's most recent work.
