KOOGU...A solo performance by Anish Victor...

Sandbox Collective (Bangalore) brings KOOGU, a solo performance by Anish Victor in English, to Mumbai for the first time, where it celebrates the completion of 100 shows. 14 shows will be staged in Mumbai and Pune. The critically acclaimed performance has travelled across Bangalore, Kolkata, New Delhi, Assam, Chennai, Pondicherry and Kenya and performed in diverse venues- living rooms, terraces, kitchens, office-spaces, basements, a Sal forest, as well as regular auditoriums.

'Koogu', the Kannada word for 'call' or 'shout', is a solo performance comprising of a series of vignettes based on real events, some that occurred in the performer's life - a grandmother who considered dancing 'cheap', memories of a church choir, an attempt to run the marathon -all examined in the light of larger ideas of freedom, culture and tradition.

The performance was born out of a series of conversations between a Bangalore based performer, Anish Victor and Michel Casanovas, a dancer and choreographer from France. The dialogue revolved around the question - 'what does one stand and fight for?'

Employing a non-linear narrative - KOOGU uses text, dance, sound, song and music in order to provide the audience fresh ways of sensing and engaging with performance.
