HISTOIRE - Mirabai - marionnettes

When the princess Mirabaï meets the celestial musician –the divine Gopala – she feels so much
love that she faints, and becomes as inert as a wooden doll.

From that moment on, she has only one desire: to be with Gopala.

But she has to marry the fierce rajah warrior Amar Singh Rathor. He tries to seduce her
in offering her somptuous gifts and with wandering entertainer troups.

But, the beautiful princess flees in search of her beloved ; she is pursued by Amar
Singh Rathor's guards...”

Unbreakable, O Lord,
Is the love
That binds me to You:
Like a diamond,
It breaks the hammer that strikes it.

My heart goes into You
As the polish goes into the gold.
As the lotus lives in its water,
I live in You.

O my Beloved - Return.
(poem of Mirabai)
