'The Parched Foot'
Friday, 29th April 2011 - From 8:30 PM To 9:30 PM
Venue: Max Mueller Bhavan
Entry Fee: Open Event
Who is your companion ? Is it a person who you can rest your head on? Is it a pet that comes with you on a walk ? Is it a passion that brings you back in the moment ? Or is it just your inner voice that fills up a void in the darkest hour ?
'Loneliness is your only companion', stated Begum Akhtar , an artiste par excellence, whose creative journey was marked with success, failure , passion , pain and anguish. Prof Rita Ganguly , Begum Akhtar's cherished disciple charts Begum ji's emotional and creative expeditions in her aptly titled book "Ae Mohabbat'. Lending her unique perspective, Prof Ganguly not only talks about the insurmountable talent of Begum ji and her style but also her observations of Begum ji - the woman. ; her identity, emotions , influences, expectations, responses and how the fabric of her personality was deeply affected by social, cultural and economic environments.
Taking a cue from the book, is Hrishikesh's Centre of Contemporary Dance. Through a 45 minute contemporary theater piece , the centre will elaborate the importance of relationships through the journey of a single man. Attempting to find love and happiness, he eventually finds solitude, forcing him to end his search and reconcile to loneliness.
The piece also borders on the responsibilities of an artist and how it may be liberating and burdening to be famous, and how that emotion is similar to being in a relationship.
The piece would be performed by 9 dancers and would include pure contemporary technique and elaborate theater elements. |
