As part of their ongoing collaboration AMRA, the artists present a new work featuring a pre-recorded performance accompanied by Carnatic dance and vocal improvisation to explore diasporic echoes, syncretic mythologies and polyrhythm within South Asian consciousness.
Incorporating fractured sonics, classical dance and vocal improvisations, the performance explores the hypnotic syntax of the tala rhythmic system and its perceptual manipulations of time. Traditional Carnatic movement accompanies AMRA’s live sound invoking the spiritual somatics of South Asian dance and its origins within ancient ritual and storytelling traditions.
