Birdsong like dance, is ephemeral. It exists only in the moment – vanishing as soon as it is sung. A meditative exchange between Indian Kathak dance and Islamic poetry. Spellbinding, spiritual and captivating – the myth of the bulbul is brought to life.
‘A work of exquisite beauty and sadness … the kind of theatrical moment that stays with you forever.’
The Scotsman
