Surabhi Saraf Live Audio Visual Performance on Jan. 30; Entry Free

Report by Santanu Ganguly, New Delhi: We would like to invite you to a short but unique event: Media artist, composer and performer Surabhi Saraf will present two tracks from her upcoming album Illuminen. Both pieces were conceived as live performances involving live video, choreographed lights and performers.

The performances will take the audience on a journey of synaesthetic experiences, showing how our perception of the self is constructed through our senses. The artist's vision for the evening is to accentuate each sense, addressing its value individually and in blended concert.

Inspired by the ways we perceive temporal phenomena through movement – both visually and sonically – Surabhi uses her background in experimental sound, Indian classical music and choreography to create audio and video works.

The evening progresses from Spinning Four, a visually rich immersive sonic experience that stimulates external senses, to Illuminen, which focuses inward, negotiating ideas of entertainment, experience, sensation and sensationalism with the conviction that it is actually the numbing of certain sensory realities that generates crucial moments in socio-cultural transformation.

Date & Time: Wednesday, 30 January, 6 pm
High tea will be served before 6 pm.

Venue: Siddhartha Hall, Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan, New Delhi
