ARCADIA...THE PROMISED LAND is a poetic piece of 70 minutes, covering poetries on various aspects of ageing. The piece is an amalgamation of different kinds of poetries associated with gerontology and death, organically created by a team of six artists, who have been able to translate their lived experiences into a poetic form. The poems cover multiple perspectives of all those associated with ageing and death, ranging from the individual, to the family, relatives, neighbours, doctors, surgeons, and the society at large.
A collection of about fifteen poems in multilingual form, with English being the primary thread. The piece is performed with stillness intermingling with live music.
