About She’s Auspicious:
Kalapriya in collaboration with The Dance Center Columbia College Chicago presents the acclaimed production, She’s Auspicious, by Mythili Prakash. A full-length dance and music work featuring an all-female cast, She's Auspicious blurs the lines between Goddess and Woman to explore the intricate interplay between goddess worship and the treatment of women in society. The Goddess/Woman paradox allows the unraveling of socio-cultural myths, stories, and values that are beautiful and personal, but simultaneously deeply rooted in systemic power structures.
