Mysuru Mallige
Mysuru Mallige
K.S. Narasimha Swamy, popularly known as the romantic poet, conveyed the sweet and bitter moments of marital life – both the pain and joy – through simple yet beautiful poems that have touched the hearts of poetry lovers. "Mysuru Mallige" is the embodiment of such beautiful poetic verses.
Play is written and directed by Rajendra Karanth, who will be featured as Balegara Chennayya in a pivotal role, this play brings to life poetic expressions, and is about capturing the emotions of an “unknown poet.”
Bay Area’s Nataka Chaitra presents the play with music by Sheshaprasad Chikkatur, choreography by Ramya Abhijith, and performances by accomplished artists. We truly believe this two-hour performance promises to give you a rich and immersive experience.
