ILLUMINATIONS South Asian Expressions: East Meets West
A panel of internationally renowned artists shares its thoughts on one of the most fruitful relationships ever to have arisen between two cultures half a world apart.The influence of South Asian artistic expression on the culture of the West has become inestimable, and shows no signs of abating. That influence is apparent in music and the cinema, in literature and dance - and it achieves a glorious theatrical apotheosis in British director Tim Supple's multilingual, multidisciplinary reimagining of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Don't miss this opportunity to hear Supple in public dialogue with fellow director Charles Roy, currently preparing a production of the great Indian classic Shakuntala; A Throw of Dice composer Nitin Sawhney; and Indian-Canadian filmmaker Deepa Mehta, director of the acclaimed trilogy Fire, Earth and Water. Moderated by Luminato Curator of Literary Programming, Devyani Saltzman.
