Mythologically, we can trace our lineage back to\u00a0<em>Gh\u1e5bt\u0101c\u012b<\/em>, an\u00a0<em>apsaras<\/em>, a divine performer, who was sent from heaven.

The female version is presented by a woman telling the story of this dynamic of the husband, the wife, and the other wife. Definitely, when a woman performs this sequence, the woman\u2019s empathy for the female characters that appear in the story brings a significant shift in approach. It is the same sequence but there is a difference in nuance. The bh\u0101va, the flavour, is very different.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNowadays, because art must reflect the changing times that we live in, I think that women are reclaiming an equal space in the world as well as on stage\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<em>Kapila Venu<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"parsed-accordion-container\">\n<div class=\"parsed-accordion title-wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"parsed-accordion-title-container\"><span class=\"parsed-accordion-header-text-span\">Opening hours and access procedures<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parsed-accordion-icon-container\"><span class=\"accordion-icon-span\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/cini\/icons\/Plus.svg\" alt=\"plus\" style=\"transform: rotate(0deg);\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parsed-accordion-content\">\n<div class=\"parsed-accordion-content-inner\">\n<p>Free entry subject to availability<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":317,"featured_media":124573,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"cini_tax_event_categories":[1890,1483],"cini_tax_institutes":[1435],"cini_tax_event_locations":[1464,1802],"class_list":["post-124376","cini_events","type-cini_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cini_tax_event_categories-concerti-e-spettacoli-2-en","cini_tax_event_categories-concerts-and-shows","cini_tax_institutes-institute-of-comparative-music","cini_tax_event_locations-island-of-san-giorgio-maggiore","cini_tax_event_locations-isola-di-san-giorgio-maggiore-venezia"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Kapila Venu.
