Kerala Kalamandalam has invited dancer R.L.V. Ramakrishnan to perform Mohiniyattam at its Koothambalam.
Kalamandalam extended the invitation in the backdrop of racial/casteist remarks made against him by dancer Kalamandalam Sathyabhama.
This is for the first time he is getting a chance to perform at the Koothambalam in the Kalamandalam, according to Ramakrishnan, who was a research student there. He will perform Mohiniyattam here at 5 p.m. on March 26.
Controversial racially charged remarks were made by Sathyabhama in a YouTube interview recently. Many people came up with support to Ramakrishnan. Kalamandalam itself condemned the remarks of Sathyabhama.
