Inhoud:

Focuses on the complexities of aesthetic politics in an exploration of Kandyan dance in Sri Lanka. This book traces the history and consequences of this transition from ritual to stage, situating the dance in relation to postcolonial nationalism and ethnic politics and emphasizing the voices of the hereditary dancers and of women performers.
