Badagutittu Yakshagana performer with the Himmela musicians on stage

IN FOCUS

Badagutittu Yakshagana: colour, craft, and command.

A form built for the whole night — the chende setting the pace, the kirita catching the light, and a dancer answering every beat of the Bhagavata's song. These are the stages StageNow exists to carry.
