Whilst certainly not demonstrating the most politically correct nor scientific of rationale, this is still quite a stylishly depicted dance through the Hindu mythology of the Creation. God creates animals, plants and man - then realises that he has little left from which to create woman. Inspired, h ... e combines some of the most delicate and beautiful elements together and so allows man to have a companion. After a week, though, he returns to God begging for her to be taken back. She never shuts up! God agrees to take her back, but soon man pines for her and requests her back. Again God agrees, but when man reaches the end of his tether once more and wants shot of her, God tells them to stop whinging and get on with it! Though it's a little on the slow side, there is some fine and intricate dancing here and the costumier has excelled at dressing these dancers beautifully. Worth a watch, I'd say.
