RAMLEELA is music-dance-drama on the life of Avatar, Rama, hero of the Indian epic, The Ramayana, who lived over 5000 years, ago. Ramleela is the longest running village theater in the world and it continues to flourish in India and places like the Caribbean, enacting the trials and triumps of a noble son returning home to Ayodhya with his virtuous wife, Sita, after 14 years of exile and abduction to Lanka by the powerful King, Ravana. Ramleela's enduring tradition combines songs, music, drums, narration and mime. It is truly the People's Theater, assuming the roles of celestial and nature beings, animals, plants and mythical kings...

Through their own unique enactment, they transform a simple story to a mirror image of their own living conditions in rebirth, year after year, during Ramleela. This Indo-Caribbean leela is fast disappearing from the cultural tapestry, thriving only in Trinidad. Brought to the Americas since 1838 by East Indian Indentured Laborers. Ramleela continues to resonate in the hearts of the people, who have infused it with their own unique and joyous, Indo-Caribbean flavor and style.

At the Rajkumari Cultural Center we are not proud of losing our own, precious heritage... so we are working with the best Practitioners, Master Artists and Scholars for the Indo-Caribbean Ramleela to take root in New York to preserve our ancestral legacy for new generations born in the U.S.
