A blend of mythology and modernity

‘Rasa Lila’, showing at The Nepal Art Council, reimagines the Mahabharata through contemporary eyes, challenging conventional norms and exploring the paradoxes of modern morality.

According to Nietzsche, “Art helps us to know ‘how to make things beautiful, as either creators or enjoyers; as the latter, we can be poets of our lives and give ourselves satisfaction and style, treating our own lives as a creative work and giving it aesthetic value as part of its ethical character. And this requires that we be autonomous individuals, free spirits, rejecting the restrictions that society and conventional morality seek to impose.”
