Choreography in Kathakali and Mohiniyattam, two classy arts traditions from Kerala, by Kathakali Guru Shri Sadanam Balakrishnan and Mohiniyattam exponent Smt Pallavi Krishnan.

Radha-Madhavam is portrayed as a dialogue between Kathakali and Mohiniyattam, two fascinating arts traditions of Kerala that competently highlights the masculine and feminine elements of traditional dance.

The longing of Radha and Krishna for each other, the eternal tale of Indian literature and aesthetics, is devotionally carried forward through generations since the 12th century. The story never makes one bored; instead, each time its interpretation unveils another deeper meaning.

Sri Krishna is the Parama Purusha and Radha, his loving consort is the Prakriti. The whole universe, material and spiritual, is the creation of Radha - Krishna. The creation is immersed in everlasting joy at this selfless and blissful communion between the Prakriti and Purusha.

Krishna's flute sounds so powerful to the whole universe because it embodied the energy of the cosmos. His beauty, charm and musical skill impassion women everywhere. In the embrace of Krishna, the gopies, maddened with desire, found refuge; in their love dalliance with Radha-Krishna, they felt that joy and fulfilment which could not but be an aspect of the divine. Through their experience, thus, the erotic the carnal and the profane became but an aspect of the sublime, the spiritual and the divine. This cumulative myth sustained one basic point: for women, Krishna was a personal God, always accessible and unfailingly responsive.
