Event Description

We are living in a time of great upheaval. From the still lurking pandemic to looming climate crisis the future can easily look bleak. Nations are at war—hard won rights are under attack in countries across the world. In our own country and neighborhoods, social divisions threaten the peace.

Through the last two millennia, Indian poets and philosophers have addressed these existential questions surrounding the individuals role in society, dealing with inequity, discrimination and outright oppression. Their answers have ranged from a philosophical acceptance to outright call for revolution. Yet others didn’t wait for a crisis to occur before calling for change, from the minor to a complete overhaul.

विवर्तन | Vivartana presents the work of such social revolutionaries —poets, politicians, rulers and sants in a musical tour across time and territory, from Kerala to Kashmir. The program is anchored by a live performance of songs in multiple languages, interspersed with short narration to provide the audience both context and a thread of continuity.

The program will run for 90 minutes with a simulcast slideshow where Chitra Srikrishna will be the narrator & singer accompanied by 2 musicians (violinist, percussionist) on stage. The performance will be in multiple languages including Kannada, Tamil, Hindi, Marathi and Bengali.
