Tritha and Mallika Sarabhai collaborate !!

AND LALLA SANG…

(A Mallika Sarabhai production Featuring Tritha as the Voice of Lalla )

In medieval times, gasping under the patriarchal rules of reliving, many women broke taboos and boundaries to forge their own spiritual paths.  Andal, Lal Ded, Habba Khatoon, Akki and others forged new journeys and created new searches.

The story and writings of Lal Ded or Lalleshwari as the Muslims and Hindus alternately called her, is perhaps the most interesting, revolutionary and contemporary of them all.

This production takes Lalla’s vach in a new translation by Ranjit Hoskote and goes on a journey that becomes relevant in a world becoming increasingly fundamentalist and stuck on ritual.

This multi-media performance examines, through their writings and their lives the polarities or illumination – darkness, ritual – spiritual, illusion – disillusion.  It will create a physical space in which the performance will be placed, one that is plastic, transient and illusory.

The musical score is being created by varied composers – Carnatic musician Jayan Nair, electronic musician Jesse Sullivan and western classical trained Alfredo de Magalhaes..

What’s up Bharat in collaboration with Equal India Alliance and SPACE present :

“Why shy” ?

Exploring one of the most innate instincts that we humans have – our sexual nature. Let’s talk about sex, about sexuality, and much more.

A session exploring our willingness, or lack thereof, to honestly and openly discuss sex and sexuality through an interactive Forum Theatre session with the Equal India Alliance.

Topics of discussion:

The following are the topics of discussion for the evening:

To understand that being sexual is not a bad thing (eliminating taboos about your own sexuality).

To appreciate, understand, and be open about the fluidity of sex, sexuality, and how people express it.

To inculcate a sense of responsibility in youth regarding talking about sex and propagating open and honest talks with siblings, friends, and possibly their kids later on, and not be hesitant about it.

Equal India Alliace: Equal India Alliance is a movement to build welcoming environments for India’s LGBT community, principally at colleges and in the workplace.

Space: SPACE is a journey seen from the eyes of the modern indian woman. Musicians from various parts of the world keep boarding and sharing their human experiences through musical conversations and keep adding to the voyage in SPACE..

Join us for a fun evening of openly discussing SEX with Tushar M from Equal India Alliance and a heartwarming performance in conversations by the SPACE cadets: Tritha Sinha, Ritika Singh and Paul Schneiter.

The evening will later be followed by a live performance by Jehu, from Rio De Jika.
