Kamsavadhe at Livermore CA
Yakshagana is a traditional theatre form combining dance, music, dialogue, costume-makeup and stage techniques with a distinct blend of classical and folk style. Artistes bring their body, mind, spirit and oration to the rhythm to entertain the audience.
Kamsa Vadhe (Destruction of Kamsa) is a Yakshagana storyline, depicting the triumph of good over evil. After several attempts to destroy lord Krishna, evil minded Kamsa sends his minister Akroora as a messenger to invite Krishna to a specious archery competition.
