The poetry of India’s Nobel prize winner, Rabindranath Tagore, still resonates, even 151 years after his death. Not least for dancer Priyanka Dasgupta who has devised a performance, Expressions Of Tagore: Paeans To Poetry, with verses from his award-winning literary work, Gijantali. “I grew up with Tagore,” says Priyanka, 33, from Kolkata, also Tagore’s birthplace.
