The festival preaches the art and beauty of imagination, languages from different cultural heritages through talks, reading, performances.
This is part of Saudha’s critically acclaimed literature Festival that contemplates on re-reading/ re-interpreting the works of literary giants of the world and explores the philosophical insights on many unconventional literary themes and movements through reading, performances, poetry-theatres, talks etc.
Curated by T M Ahmed Kaysher, this session mainly focuses on celebrating the birth-centenary of a leading Austrian poet of the last century Ingeborg Bachmann through engaging performances on her works e.g. poetry-theatre, recitation and rediscovering her works through other global poets/writers.
Saudha Society of Poetry and Indian Music ( www.saudha.org ) is a leading platform for South Asian as well as other global classical arts. Saudha is critically acclaimed for its series of experimental productions merging poetry, music and painting seamlessly so that each can complement each other. Saudha attracted a diverse source of audiences from all different heritages through its series of presentations of mingling and bridging different arts from different corners of the world as the way of interpreting each other.
Saudha’s productions Frida Kahlo Through Indian classical music and Songs of Sringar and Seduction at the Royal Albert Hall have been highly praised by prominent ethno-musicologists, music and literature connoisseurs of the city and beyond.
Saudha’s lyrics of Love at the SouthBank Centre and at Edinburgh Fringe and Chayanaut through Sebastian Bach at the House of Commons, Taste of Twilight at ICCR, Kolkata and the Welsh Parliament were critically acclaimed by major media and musicologists. During Covid, Saudha took the first ever and historic initiative to connect leading musicians of the globe, writers, poets, painters and filmmakers from all across the world through virtual platforms and the sessions were hugely appreciated by the audiences from all around the globe.
