"Samah"- For many centuries, two intertwined streams of thoughts have flourished giving rise to ecstatic poems that highlight the mad desire to live (and perhaps die) for a divine bond beyond the worldly realms. Voices that echo an unquenchable love for the divine and sometimes where the love itself becomes divine! Barring religion, caste, language, social standing or economic status, these poems advocate emotional restlessness and a very intimate expression of the individual self. In this modern era of religious intolerance and turmoil, Samah explores intense and beautiful poetic works of Sufi poets like Kabir, Rumi, Amir Khusrau, Raskhan, Bulle Shah and Bhakti poets like Surdas, Vidyapati, Mirabai, Kanhopatra, Andal.
Antaryatra -
The Journey Within
"Antaryatra - The Journey Within" explores the journey of the human mind. The performance begins with the neutral mind which is fulfilled and is at peace - a mind devoid of strong emotions. Through the course of the performance, various emotions are explored revealing the complexities of the human psyche. As the performance draws to a close, the mind transcends physical limitations to unite with the eternal consciousness.
VOICES
"Voices" is a celebration of the incredible human accomplishment of creating magic with words. The title Voices comes from the idea that the words in a poem start first as the Poet's voice. Those words are then interpreted by readers in their own voices in different ways. Dancers and musicians interpret poetry through movement and sound. Voices explores unusual verses by several poets including Pablo Neruda, Amir Khusrau and Jaishankar Prasad.
