Nota de prensa El musical de moda en India y que ya ha visto medio millón de espectadores en todo el mundo aterrizará de nuevo en España La producción original del Film Metropolis Bombay estará cuatro únicas semanas en cada ciudad BARCELONA MADRID Del 31 de marzo al 25 de abril Del 28 de mayo al 25 de junio Enero de 2009 Bollywood – The Show es el título del musical de moda en la India – producción original del Film Metropolis Bombay - que recalará la próxima primavera de nuevo en España, tras cosechar un rotundo éxito de público y crítica a su paso por Barcelona el pasado año. A los escenarios del Teatre Tivoli (C/ Casp, 12, Barcelona) y del Teatro Nuevo Alcalá (Calle Jorge Juan, 62, Madrid) subirán durante cuatro únicas semanas en cada ciudad una cuarentena de bailarines, músicos y actores para rendir homenaje a la exótica cinematografía de Bollywood. Un buen ejemplo de la actual fascinación por la tradición hindú y las producciones de Bombay (Mumbai) es el éxito de una película premiada en los Globos de Oro y candidata al Óscar, "Slumdog Millionaire" , producción independiente ambientada en los suburbios de Bombay y dirigida por el británico Danny Boyle que se estrenará en España el próximo 13 de febrero con el título “¿Quién quiere ser millonario?“. El musical Bollywood – The Show incluye en su repertorio algunos mejores temas de Shah Rukh Khan , autor de la banda sonora de esta reconocida película. La producción original del Film Metropolis Bombay conjuga la danza, el teatro, la música y el cine rescatando las coreografías y las bandas sonoras más famosas de los ochenta años de historia de la cinematografía india. Esta deslumbrante producción, recibida con éxito de crítica y público en tres continentes –Europa, África y Australia-, aterriza en Madrid y Barcelona en el marco de su gira europea, que le ha llevado también a Francia, Países Bajos, Suiza, Austria y Bélgica. El argumento de Bollywood – The Show , inspirado en hechos reales, se basa en la historia de una de las dinastías más famosas del cine de la India: la familia Merchant . El miembro más joven de la familia, la reconocida coreógrafa Vaibhavi Merchant (quien ha cosechado un gran éxito de taquilla con “Fanaa”), es también la responsable de las coreografías más impactantes de este espectáculo. La música para Bollywood – The Show fue compuesta y arreglada por Salim and Sulaiman Merchant, miembros de la emergente generación de compositores de Bollywood, y autores del éxito musical del largometraje “Dhoom”, entre otros títulos. En Bollywood - The Show ellos combinan armoniosamente los ritmos tradicionales con los temas musicales de más éxito de los filmes de Bollywood. 2 PRENSA Y COMUNICACIÓN COMEDIA.

El argumento La historia que nos traslada este musical comienza en India, en los desiertos de Rajasthan, en el templo de Shiva. La dinastía familiar Merchant tiene la responsabilidad de mantener las viejas prácticas de la danza Kathak , la danza de los dioses . Shantilal Merchant , coreógrafo de la edad dorada de la gran industria del cine de India, es el último de la línea de los gurus, tradición a punto de extinguirse. Shantilal había abandonado esta industria años atrás, justo cuando la industria crecía, por la influencia de las tendencias occidentales. Estableció entonces su propia escuela de danza en el desierto, enseñando las tradicionales danzas folklóricas. Un buen día, su nieta Ayesha , protagonista del musical, decide abandonar Rajasthan contra los deseos de su abuelo, persiguiendo el sueño de convertirse en la reina de la coreografía de los modernos filmes de Bollywood. “The princess of Romance”, como era llamada Ayesha, estaba convencida de que el cine debía ser un instrumento de evasión; Shantilal creía que las películas debían cambiar la vida de la gente. Este conflicto entre realidad o fantasía es el germen del argumento. La rebeldía adolescente de Ayesha contra su educación clásica, y a favor de los estilos occidentales de danza, llevan la discrepancia al límite. Es entonces cuando Ayesha decide visitar a Shantilal en busca de la reconciliación, y en este viaje redescubre el corazón de la India y los desiertos de Rajasthan. Esta vuelta a sus orígenes la acerca también a antiguo amor de infancia, Uday . Cuando Ayesha vuelve Shantilal agoniza, y teme que tras su muerte no quede nadie que perpetúe la tradición familiar, la danza de los dioses. Pero finalmente Ayesha, que decide casarse con Uday y vivir en Rajasthan, continúa con la dirección de la escuela de danza, haciendo compatibles la tradición y la vanguardia. El show concluye con una colorida fusión de formas de danza populares, clásicas, modernas, occidentales e hindúes. Las heridas de antaño son curadas y el viejo conflicto se resuelve en un viaje al sagrado corazón de la danza . 4 PRENSA Y COMUNICACIÓN COMEDIA.

Un tributo de Vaibhavi a Hiralal Texto de Toby Gough, director de Bollywood– The Show Ésta es una historia de familias, dinastías y sueños a través de mares, a través del tiempo. Mi abuelo vivió toda su vida en India, y mi padre nació y se educó en el viejo Bombay. Algunos de mis primeros recuerdos son de él sentado viendo películas con destellos en los años cuarenta en la India. Desde esos días, India me ha fascinado y he tenido experiencias únicas: el ruido de los trenes a través de Rajasthan, trekking en Kashmir y el estudio de muchas de las representaciones rituales de las tradiciones hindúes. Tuve el gran honor de conocer a Vaibhavi Merchant en Mumbai a principios de este año para hablar sobre su disponibilidad para coreografiar un nuevo espectáculo de danza. La diversidad musical de India, las canciones populares, la sensacional percusión y el brío de los éxitos de danza, junto con un vestuario exquisito, bailes sensuales, interpretaciones increíbles y toda la magia y efervescencia contagiosa de las películas de Bollywood, parecían los ingredientes perfectos para juntos llegar a un acuerdo en una gran noche. Sabía que Vaibhavi era la coreógrafa estrella de los sobresalientes números de danza de los grandes éxitos de Bollywood: “Lagaan”, el suntuoso film exótico “Devdas”, y la exquisita “Hum Dil De Chuke Sanaam”. También sabía que en Bollywood Vaibhavi es conocida como la “Queen of Romance”. Sin embargo, no conocía el origen de su antigua y fascinante familia. Siendo natural

    PAPER 6 DANCE IN INDIA TODAY, DANCE-DRAMAS, CREATIVITY WITHIN THE CLASSICAL FORMS, INDIAN CLASSICAL DANCE IN DIASPORA (USA, UK, EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, ETC.) MODULE 15 KATHAK AS VOCATION For long has dance been a vocation in India. Both men and women have been ritual dance specialists associated with temples and monasteries. The story of the Devadasis, Maibis and Maharis / भहायी is well known. There are monk dancers in Assam called bhakats who are examples of males who dedicate their lives to the performance of dance as an offering and a ritual in a temple. There were also public platforms, where for entertainment purposes men and women danced. Chhau / छाऊ, Raibenshe / यैफᴂशे, Yakshagana / मऺगान, Kuchipudi / कु चिऩुड़ी, etc are examples of how and when traditionally males’ danced. Some of the women belonging to specific communities were associated with dancing for entertainment. For instance the Kalbelia / कारफेलरमा, Rai / याइ and Bedia / फेडडमा women were for centuries known to dance for entertainment. It is believed that the Bedia women danced for the laborers from different parts of the word who had collected at Taj Ganj at the time of the building of the Taj Mahal. Later they were among the communities and tribes that entertained the British troupes. Today many Bedia girls are among the Bar dancers of Mumbai. Apart from these girls there was also a group of traditional performers called by various names- Tawaif / तवामप, baijis / फाईजी, 1 etc. They were a whole range of professional dancing girls, some so talented that they had access to the highest centres of power, like the palace and the courtly setting, and were well integrated with the royals and the aristocracy.
