  • P. James for President - A look into the life of a magician, and how he has the dreams of an ordinary man… “I have a dream… I want to be president.”
Wednesday Sept. 4th: NH 7 , ADA Rangamandira
Deepak Kurki Shivaswamy is a contemporary dancer who has been engaged in artistic work as a performer, creator and teacher since the year 2000. NH 7 is a dance duet that depicts the intricate, confused, rapid urbanization in which the dancers vividly capture the mad need to build, demolish and re-imagine the city; explore how people are caught up in this mayhem. The work aims at creating moving images with bodies which will reflect the current imagination of the city and the changing landscapes.
This performance won the Prakriti Excellence in Contemporary Dance Award in 2012.

Thursday Sept. 5th: A Moment of Mishearing , The Oak Room, The Park

A Moment of Mishearing is an audio-visual narrative, including film and music, and also weaving in a full concert performance, about Amit Chaudhuri’s music project, which began when he began to 'mishear' the raga in the blues and vice versa, and 'misheard,’ one morning as he was practicing classical music, the riff to Eric Clapton's 'Layla' in the raga Todi.
