Immersive, Multimedia and Interactive Journey / For All

This immersive journey, the first-of-its-kind in India, celebrates the breadth and depth of the relationship between India and France in a way it has never been told before - from technology to culture, from yesterday to tomorrow.

Firmly anchored in a variety of domains, the French links with India are largely unknown and sharply under-estimated. The Experience brings them to the fore, highlighting Indo-French collaborations between artists, writers and thinkers, but also in areas like energy, environment, urbanism and space, in a fully intuitive, experimental way.

The Experience showcases the strength of our present partnerships, unveiling what France and India have in common, and shows the way to creative involvement in the future - not only in terms of economic and trade alliances, but also through people- to-people exchanges. Its innovative and interactive scenography will transform a long and rich story into a dynamic journey.

Heritage, Livelihood, Architecture, Tourism, Higher Education, School Competition, Crowd-funding Campaign, Citizens

Bonjour India aims to change the perception of heritage, showcasing how it can become a source of economic growth and employment. Three projects under the title Know Your Indo- French Heritage will provide the foundation for the development of this long-term initiative:

Ÿ A two-layer contest mobilising students (8-12 and 13-16 year-olds) from 80 schools, raising the awareness of the young public in India;

Ÿ A collaborative project between Indian and French schools of architecture, involving Chandannagar inhabitants, where students work on a case-study to restore one of the city’s heritage buildings, the Registry Building;

Ÿ A crowd-funding campaign.

This project hopes to trigger many more similar initiatives and lead to the complete restoration of Chandannagar, making it a template to be replicated elsewhere in India.

Classical Music/ Follow-up to the Odyssey for Cello and Imaginary Choir / Creation for Cello & Sound Track / Creating Music Inspired by India / For All

Sonia Wieder-Atherton is today’s most gifted and well-known French cellist. Following her Mediterranean Odyssey, Sonia Wieder-Atherton now brings her talent and creativity to India. Absorbing a landscape of sounds recorded in situ into her performance of classical pieces, she explores the question of how the world resonates in music.

‘I don’t know India, but I dream of discovering it, travelling to its different cities and regions, meeting people, taking time with them to share my Odyssey, recording sounds together, then incorporating this raw material into the Odyssey and its soundtrack.

Each venue hosting a performance would thus become the home of its own Odyssey: the Odyssey for that place and those people. My wish is for the sounds, narratives, songs, all the things that I cannot yet imagine, to take their place in my odyssey and meet the voice of my cello.’

Carnatic Music & Gregorian Chant / For All

Heaven and Earth brings India and France together through an Inspiring encounter between traditional and vocal music. Padma Shri Awardee Aruna Sairam, India’s most famous singer of Classical Carnatic music, shares the stage with Dominique Vellard, expert in Gregorian chanting and director of Gilles Binchois ensemble.

Heaven and Earth explores the ancient poetic sources of both cultures by delving into the tradition of Tirukkural and French medieval poetry and maxims. In the seven words of each Kural (poem or proverb), are embedded very simple, yet profound life principles. By juxtaposing this tradition of wisdom with French poetry and maxims, the project creates a dialogue in which Kurals and other poetic forms are recited and set to music, interspersed with musical interludes.

Baroque Recital / Classical Music / For All

Le Poème Harmonique, a leading French baroque ensemble, will come on stage to celebrate the golden age of Baroque, an era when music dissolved borders across Europe.

Under artistic director Vincent Dumestre, Venezia recreates the highly entertaining performances of the 17th- and 18th- centuries, when art music and popular forms mingled, and feelings and freedom of language had not yet been held in check by rules and codes.

Venezia begins with Monteverdi’s madrigals, as the famous Lamento della Ninfa. It goes on to typical light and funny pieces written by Francesco Manelli, one of the most brilliant composers of the Venetian Baroque.

Through this programme, Bonjour India launches collaborations in baroque and opera music between India and France, while encouraging professional training in the classical music forms. y h p r u M w e h t t a © M

Author’s Residency / Poetry / Gond Art / For All

An enchanting vision of our world brought to light through the eyes of four women, Metro Lands is a book crossing the metro of Paris and the suburban railway of Mumbai to offer us poetry of small things.

This book examines the gigantic, omnipresent arterial system that transforms each city into a living, breathing creature: the connective tissue knitting disparate organs – glamorous, plebeian, historic, modern, functional, touristic – into a body with soul.

The suburban railways is a shared space that transcends clichés about both cities, when a crowd of millions of individuals parts to reveal fragments of stories we can only guess at, or invent.

Written by poets Karthika Naïr and Sampurna Chattarji, illustrated by Joëlle Jolivet (in residency in Mumbai) and Roshni Vyam (in residency in Paris), Metro Lands celebrates the multiplicity of gazes on the familiar, the everyday — through word and image, language, shape and colour.
