Experience losing track of time when Mythili Prakash plays the protagonist in MARA – Mastermind. All set to enthrall audiences in Singapore on March 24 at the Esplanade theatre.
Recognised as one of the world’s leading young exponents of Bharatanatyam, Mythili and team's performance is bound to dazzle. MARA, presented by Arte Compass in association with Apsaras Arts, explores the journey of the individual (Jeeva), as she negotiates the dangerous, dazzling maze that is the human mind (Mara).
Here is an, In Pics, collection of Mythili Prakash's performances from across the world.

MARA, the demon who failingly attempted to entice Buddha, continues to distract humans from discovering what lies beyond worldly pleasures, the pursuit of true inner freedom. Can Jeeva break free from the chains that bind her to this world?
