| This contemporary multi-media opera by Shirish Korde, dramatizes the life of Phoolan Devi, a fascinating and controversial figure whose turbulent life story exemplifies the violent tension between traditional values and modern notions of social justice. Known as both a Robin Hood-like bandit and a reincarnation of the Hindu Goddess Durga, Phoolan Devi was both feared and celebrated during her tragic life. | ||
