FILMS OF THE SPIRIT

Curated by Rajiv Mehrotra

Meera (115 min; 1947; dvd; b/w; Hindi)

Director: Ellis R. Dungan

With M.S. Subbulakshmi

Meera has the iconic Subbulakshmi gloriously singing devotional songs mixing Carnatic ragas with popular Hindustani airs. The result is transcendental music, particularly the soft notes which Subbulakshmi sings with her incandescent facial expressions. Her rendition of the Meera bhajans in Hindi has remained the definitive musical version of the lyrics. They were an important part of her live concerts

The Two-Headed Lore (60 min)

Director: Manjari Kaul

Presented by Devised Theatre

Devised and performed by Astha Aggerwal; Manjari Kaul; Mauraya Sharma; Maya Ghosh; Kiran Naig; and Vikas Gupta

In the cyclical rhythms of nature when dusk shifts into the blue of the night, our inner, hidden selves emerge. The night makes room for a subversion of the order of the day – an order of rationality and decorum and allows human imagination to take flight. Folklores, fairy tales and myths emerge through this journey which explores the dualities of life. The performers bring together stories told to us through generations with their own lived experiences of gender binaries and all that exists in-between and beyond
