Six dance-dramas, namely, two music-dramas: 'Taser Desh' (interspersed with prose dialogue), 'Shapmochan' (with narrator), and four full-bodied dance-dramas: 'Chitrangada', 'Shyama', 'Chandalika' and 'Mayar Khela' (re-visited). All the dance-dramas are predominantly 'recitative' music dramas. The clear story-line is piggy-backed mainly on the 'recitative' pattern of the melodiously articulated dialogues and narratives, interlaced with songs. The translation follows closely the letter and spirit of the original (including the lyrics), in trying to do justice not only to the rhythm and metre of the original, but also the internal rhymes, so that the exquisite poetry and lyrical beauty of Tagore can be savoured even in the translation.
