Mehfils: A Studio Theatre Takeover: Shift Marwa Time
Join us for a specially curated Mehfil gathering where performers and audience come together to experience the 'rasa' (emotion) of South Asian classical arts
In the second and final performance of Mehfils A Studio Theatre Takeover, four closely related raags migrate through tonal bases as they explore the different ‘rasas’/emotions of a day; Raag Sohini (just before sunrise), Raag Hindol (after sunrise), Raag Marwa (twilight) and Raag Puriya (twilight).
Artists shift fluidly across the raags, drawing connections through the shared tonal scales and creating a sense and feeling of balance and belonging.
Bring or find a rug or cushion in this relaxed setting where you are encouraged to find your own place around the stage.
