Mone Rekho by Soumik Datta Arts | In Residence
Memories, echoes and time-cycles collide in this multidisciplinary concert by the Aga Khan Music award-winning composer and sarod player, Soumik Datta.
‘Mone Rekho’ (or ‘Remember’ in Bengali) is an immersive concert that weaves Indian music with electronic hybrids, visual collages, cinematic scenes, personal anecdotes and bursts of comedy. A production in two halves, we see Soumik move between the roles of student, storyteller and master musician in a space that shifts from concert hall to classroom; from care homes to the streets of Kolkata. Everyone is left with something to think about – from remembering lost memories to learning something new. Intimate yet expansive, ‘Mone Rekho’ stretches your imagination.
