  • Khiyo Are a London-Based Six-Piece Band Playing Radical, Modern Interpretations of Bengali Heritage Music
    ENGLISH P. 2 DEUTSCH S. 10 Khiyo are a London-based six-piece band playing radical, modern interpretations of Bengali heritage music. The band was formed in 2007 as a collaboration between British-Bangladeshi vocalist Sohini Alam and composer / multi-instrumentalist Oliver Weeks to explore new ways of presenting traditional Bengali music whilst preserving its essence. The songs on this album represent an eclectic mix of Bengali classics from both Bangladesh and India, drawing on folk, film, protest songs and other traditional genres such as Rabindra Sangeet (the songs of Rabindranath Tagore) and Nazrul Sangeet (the songs of Bangladesh’s national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam). Alam’s powerful and expressive vocals are matched with dynamic and original arrangements that draw on South Asian and Western folk and classical traditions, rock and jazz. The band is named after a letter of the Bengali alphabet, the ‘Khiyo’ ( ). It is a unique letter that, whilst being a combination of two letters, has an identity of its own. Similarly, though the band’s members draw on many different musical backgrounds, the amalgamation of the whole has a singularly identifiable sound. Sohini Alam is a third-generation vocalist from a well-known Bangladeshi singing dynasty. Sohini trained in music with her mother, Hiron Alam and her aunts, Jannat Ara and Ferdous Ara. Her repertoire includes folk, patriotic, modern and traditional Bengali songs with a specialisation in Nazrul Sangeet. She has branched out into multi-lingual music in bands (Khiyo & Kishon Khan’s Afro-Cuban-Bengali jazz band, Lokkhi Terra), for dance (she has been acclaimed for her vocals on Akram Khan’s Olivier Award-winning dance piece DESH), and for the theatre (she is Musical Artist in Residence at pioneering London Asian theatre Tara Arts).

Become bewitched by fierce and intense Kali performances including classical Indian dance, storytelling and music. Kali, also known as Kalika is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment. She illustrates the ferocious and forceful side of the goddess Durga (Parvati). The evening combines the celebrations of Halloween with that of Kali Puja.

  • AKRAM KHAN COMPANY / LONDON UNTIL the LIONS ------[Do] 25.01
    AKRAM KHAN COMPANY / LONDON UNTIL THE LIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Do] 25.01. bis [So] 28.01. / 20:00 / k6 / ca. 60 Minuten -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unser Tipp: FOKUS TANZ #4: FAUX PAS 15. bis 18. Februar 2018 Aufführungen, Workshops und Lectures mit José Vidal, Antje Pfundtner, Sarah Michelson, Saša Asentić UNTIL THE LIONS Nach VERTICAL ROAD und iTMOi präsentiert der britische Choreograf Akram Khan seine jüngste abendfüllende Show auf Kampnagel. Dabei geht der Ausnahmechoreograf zurück zu seinen bengalischen Wurzeln: in seinem furiosen Tanztheater treffen zeitgenössische Formen auf die Kathak-Tänze seiner Kindheit. Inhaltlich lässt sich Khan von Karthika Naïrs aktueller Adaption dem indischen Mahabarata-Epos »Until the Lions: Echoes from the Mahabharata« inspirieren. Die Geschichte erzählt er aus der Perspektive von Königstochter Amba. Sie wird von Bheeshma, Herrscher des benachbarten Königreiches, an ihrem Hochzeitstag entführt und seinem Bruder als Braut angeboten. Obwohl Amba entkommt, ist ihr Leben zerstört. Sie wird von der ganzen Familie und ihrem Verlobten, ja von der gesamten Gesellschaft verachtet und abgelehnt. Amba ruft die Götter an, um sich zu rächen... UNTIL THE LIONS ist ein ebenso bild- wie soundgewaltiges Stück über die Schwierigkeiten einer Frau in einer patriarchalen Gesellschaft und zugleich eine Choreografie über die Fragilität des Körpers, der Erde und der Menschheit an sich. Für die Produktion vereinte Khan einige der Hauptakteur*innen aus dem künstlerischen Team hinter seinem Solo DESH: Die Autorin Karthika Naïr, Visual Artist Tim Yip, Lichtdesigner Michael Hulls und Dramaturgin Ruth Little. Die herausragenden Tänzer*innen Rianto, Ching-Ying Chien und Joy Alpuerto Ritter tanzen zum Soundtrack der vier Livemusikern: den Sängern Sohini Alam und David Azurza, Percussionist Norman Jankowski und Musiker Joseph Ashwin.

    AKRAM KHAN COMPANY PARIS THÉÂTRE DE LA VILLETTE 13 DÉCEMBRE 2016 20 HEURES UNTIL THE LIONS Colas partenaire d’Until the Lions Depuis 2010, Akram Khan Company et Colas font route ensemble. Vertical Road, DESH, Itmoi, Torobaka : chaque pièce du chorégraphe mêle traditions et ruptures, reliant la force des racines à la nécessaire évolution d’un discours ancré dans notre époque. Ecriture de rupture dès l’origine de la pièce puisque, pour la première fois, Akram Khan porte une voix féminine, l’auteure du texte « UNTIL THE LIONS », plaçant la femme au cœur de l’oeuvre épique indienne, traditionnellement pensée au masculin. Akram Khan fait apparaître son héroïne, la transformant progressivement en combattante déterminée à accomplir son destin, lui resti- tuant un statut ainsi qu’un rôle majeur dans la tradition du Mahabharata. Personnage féminin, Amba n’est pas autorisée à combattre celui qui l’a offensée. Mais sa volonté de revanche la métamorphose en homme-guerrier pour enfin livrer son combat et se libérer. Au delà de la narration, le processus de la métamorphose occupe la place centrale de cette nouvelle chorégraphie. Provoquée par la détermination, déclenchée par l’obsession du but, la volonté d’être en accord avec sa propre éthique fait évoluer ce que l’on croyait acquis en inévitable transformation. Comme souvent, l’intention d’Akram Khan trouve étrangement son écho dans le monde de l’entreprise : le bouleversement des codes est plus que jamais d’actualité, la transformation doit être une étape de notre développement, comme moteur et source de renouveau. Dans le contexte économique actuel, Colas a choisi de porter haut ses valeurs de créateur responsable, de mobiliser sa force d’innovation pour répondre à la nécessité de se réinventer.

This year there’s a great selection of drama, music, seminars and panel discussions as well as an exhibition to help profile the enormous talent that goes into this annual festival of theatre. Now in its 10th year, A Season of Bangla Drama continues to explore how Bengali culture and heritage can be exported across continents and reinterpreted using a mixture of innovation and tradition to inspire a new generation and develop new audiences. We are delighted to be giving a platform to emerging writers, directors and performers from Tower Hamlets. This celebration of Bengali drama, literature and poetry incorporates a range of topical themes such as mental and physical health, violence against women, racism and environmental issues as well as a range of emotions and character traits which drive certain behaviour – from love and greed to ambition and despair. The strength, fragility and comedy of humankind is portrayed through a host of creative approaches to storytelling, and all are relevant to the richness and diversity of life in 21st century East London.
