"On Sunday, April 10, mother and daughter called upon their art to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Rabindranath Tagore, a notable and prolific Bengalese artist whose work encompassed writing, music and painting, and whose accomplishments were recognized with the first Nobel Prize for literature awarded, in 1913, to a non-European. The tribute consisted of an adaptation of Tagore’s Chandalika, about an outcast girl from the “untouchable” class whose encounter with a disciple of Buddha, Ananda, begins as a transcendental experience only to become corrupted by worldly desire."
