InterART The 38th Vikram Sarabhai Film Festival: New Delhi March 2014

10^th, 11^th& 12^th March 2014

Sri Ram Centre, 4 Safdar Hashmi Marg, Mandi House Chowk, New Delhi The idea of the Vikram Sarabhai Festival was born a few years after his tragic and early death in 1971. He was the co-founder of Darpana with Mrinalini Sarabhai, and its main supporter. He was a great lover of the arts, and a connoisseur. It was felt that the best way to remember and pay homage to him would be to have a yearly multi- arts festival in his home town, Ahmedabad.

 From a modest beginning in 1974 in the Tagore Hall, till 1994, the festival highlighted major national and international artists like Prabha Atre, Bhimsen Joshi, The Battery Dance Company, Gruppa from Sweden, Pratap Sharma and Alyque Padamsee and Darpana’s own new productions.
With the birth of Darpana’s own unique theatre, Natarani in 1994, the festival shifted gear and became the Vikram Sarabhai International Arts Festival, with a thrust towards highlighting and producing major new collaborative work. These have included collaboration between countries, between artists of different styles and between performing artists, painters, sculptors and installation artists.
This year the 38^th Vikram Sarabhai International Arts Festival will explore different aspects of the issue of displacement scheduled on the 28th, 29th and 30th December 2013.
More and more people in India and elsewhere are getting displaced and dispossessed due to circumstances outside their control. Industrialization, mining, big dams, climate change, economic and political reasons lead massive groups of humanity to lose their homes and roots. UNHCR figures show increasingly wider swathes of humanity being uprooted and usually not finding proper rehabilitation. This project aims at bringing public awareness of the problem, to raise voices to influence governments, especially the Indian government, to put in place just, equitable and humane policies to settle these millions.
Tata Sons is bringing the 38^th Vikram Sarabhai Festival  to Delhi on 10^th, 11^th and 12^th of March 2014.  This project is also supported by the UNHCR – United Nations High Commission for Refugees.

 InterArt 2014 – Performance Schedule- NEW DELHI
LDR

Time: 7.00 pm
Venue: Sri Ram Cente,
             4 Safdar Hashmi Marg, Mandi House Chowk, New Delhi 110001
LDR is a multimedia performance that deals with the rootlessness and lack of sense of belonging of those that choose displacement for themselves—either going abroad for better economic prospects, or divided by time and circumstance from their moorings and loved ones.
Integrating dance, theatre, text and video, LDR explores the nature of long distance relationships and the displacement they bring, through their myriad complexities and disjunctions, whilst dealing with a fundamental question: how can we find togetherness when living apart and on the move? An affective soundscape layers the interplay of text and movement with a multitude of ‘voices’ that speak of waiting, desire and the silence in between separation.

In a world that changes in front of our very eyes, who are we? Have we lost our sense of self? Why is it that we look for answers in the other, in the enemy, in the one who looks, behaves or is different? Why do we forget our own distancing from our core selves and look instead for answers in others whom we can demonise? What does this very personal and internal displacement from our own true self mean for a society? Gowri Ramnarayan adapts a story by Gabriel Garcia Marquez into a physical theatre performance.
THE DAMMED

              4 Safdar Hashmi Marg, Mandi House Chowk, New Delhi 110001
Too often we ignore and bypass the displaced people in society, allowing them to become invisible. Their voices are not heard; their struggles go unresolved further pushing them to the margins of society.The Dammed brings to the fore the issue of internally displaced people, forced from their homes due to ethnic conflict, development projects, government actions and more. Through this multimedia dance theatre production, the invisible people become visible, their voices have an outlet and the viewer is pushed to confront those in their own community living at the edge.
