A brief note on each of the performances:
Noise Over Artists - Standup Comedy by Rajiv Rajaram and Utsav Chakraborty
Featuring two voice over professionals (One Professional & One Rookie) who have been creating more noises than voices since their childhoods, Rajiv Rajaram & Utsav Chakraborty take you through the everyday absurdities that voice-over artist endure and the impact it has on their lives. In a time of fake news, family WhatsApp groups and absolute polarization, two men will try to make you understand the greatest weapon that is used by our fellow Indians.
To See or Not To See – An art talk by Ana Lamata
Ana Lamata, Ph.D. in Contemporary Art History, Spain, has largely focused her research on the resonances between art and science. To See or Not to See is a reflection on how at the beginning of the 20th century, the discovery of X-rays changed the way the world was perceived and the notion of reality itself. Today, when new technologies are challenging again our conceptions of reality, art can play a vital role in decoding these discoveries, questioning conventions and just helping us see.
Two Sides of Karma - Music performance by IndoSoul
IndoSoul is a leading band from Chennai that has extensively performed across the country and in the USA. The band led by violinist & singer, Karthick Iyer started in 2012 and their third album, ‘Two sides of Karma’, is a testimony for their success. IndoSoul believes in making music that is Indian at its core and global in its sounding.
Stories by Hand - Contemporary dance by Preeti Vasudevan
Stories by Hand is a solo work on identity told through personal stories and narrated through the continuous placement and displacement of gestures affected by memory. It is a solo work searching for an individual identity through personal, mythical, and social stories. Stories by Hand takes the hand gestures of Bharatanatyam, the classical Indian dance form, as the basis for storytelling a dance-theatre piece that interweaves the East and West, the past and the present and the mythic with the everyday.
