Description
"Not That Kind of Love", curated by Dhaivat Jani, is a performance intertwining the timeless poetry of Faiz Ahmad Faiz, "Mujse Pehli Si Mohabbat,” with live improvised music and immersive visuals.
At its core, the concert seeks to challenge conventional notions of love, belonging, and identity. Through the fusion of many musical styles and genres, the performance will create a rich tapestry of sounds, ranging from traditional melodies to experimental sonic landscapes of Indian classical music, jazz, and everything in between.
The spoken word artist will serve as a guide, weaving together the diverse themes present in Faiz's poetry with live music, creating a multi-layer experience for the audience. The performance will engage the senses and provoke thought, supported by dynamic visuals, inviting the audience to reflect and ponder on their understanding of love, longing, belonging, the feeling of home, identity, and hope in a world shaped by politics and societal norms.
"Not That Kind of Love" promises to be a thought-provoking exploration of human emotions and societal dynamics, inviting the audience to embark on a journey of self-reflection and discovery through the lens of art.
