Sounds of Silence

An exhibition of photographs by Archana Vikram

Sounds of Silence is a series of largely black-and-white images exploring the energy,

complexity and individuality of surroundings, objects and subjects that embody silence, in all its

variety.

More than simply being photographic representations of what the lens captures, the images in

Sounds of Silence are unique and subjective interpretations, infused with Archanas intimate

connection to The Silence.

In the summer of 2009, in the province of Viterbo in central Italy; in what seemed a world away

from home (Bangalore, India), she began to photograph evocative imagery that spoke volumes

soundlessly. The desire was instinctive and almost bizarre. It remains an ongoing project. A part

of this series will be showcased at the Gallerie Michelangelo in Firenze, Italy in December, 2012.

Archana feels fortunate to have been guided & mentored by photographer Patrick Nicholas

(based in London & Italy) and artist & photographer David Hoptman (Based in Santa Barbara,

CA, USA).

A Voyage towards the Self through Dance

Presented by Bouyancee

At ---PM

AUDITORIUM, AFB

Nrityanidhi is a unique dance institution that focuses on creating confident, holistic dancers.

This dance institute was founded in August 2005 by Shoma Kaikini. Nrityanidhi has set a benchmark in experimentation with Indian Classical Dance with creative or contemporary Kathak.

Nrityanidhi uses music from varied genre like Contemporary, Sufi, Ghazals, Classical

and Light Classical. Graceful body movement, stirring Abhinay, precision of footwork and

exceptional choreography result in performances that are visually alluring and practically

elevating!

Nrityanidhi has believed in spreading the message of values & self-actualization through dance.

Consequently they designed, ASMI, around Contemporary Sufi Kathak. Asmi which means I

am in Sanskrit is an introverting expedition to realize the 'self' beyond just physical existence.Through mystifying & elevating Sufi music accompanied by the pleasant sound of the

'Ghungroos' and visually alluring choreographic pieces in Contemporary Kathak, Nrityanidhi

promises to take its audience through a journey that talks of true joy and harmony!

Nrityanidhi along with its core team of twelve exquisite dancers is proud to have Sri

Harshvardhan Singh as a guest performer. Harshvardhan Singh is a prominent student of the

THEATER

Premiere of P.S. I dont LOVE YOU

By We move Theater

1st

November

At ---PMAUDITORIUM, AFB

The play revolves around A couple everyone envies! They have everything in common; just theperfect families, perfect age and head over heels in love probably a match made in heaven. On

their way to a pompous marriage, a customary mushy honeymoon, jubilant households and "A

Happily Ever after", hell breaks out! The girl gets a brainwave from the same heavens! A strong

jolt, a sudden-strong-stable realization of perfection being the ultimate flaw, calmness being

the utter boredom and an impulsive compulsion for an adrenaline rush. Embarking on this

journey sans an adventure seems such a clich. Not something "every" girl dreams of.

Written and directed by Abhishek Iyengar, and co-directed by Rangaraj Bhatracharya &

Abhishek Narain P.S.

Albert Camus

Theater Counteract presents Albert Camuss The Plague, a physical theatre adaptation.The play

is set in Bangalore during 1898. A plague breaks out. Thousands die. The state assumes

overarching powersunder the Epidemic Diseases Act of 1897. Using these powers, the state in

effect gives birth to anew city. Entire areas are cleared out in the name of decongestion. New

markets are created while old markets are regularized. New localities are created

Malleshwaram, Basavangudi etc. A new goddess was born Plague-amma whose temple

continues to be popular to this day! Perhaps, as a reminder to us that the plague may again

rouse up its rats and send them to die in a well contended city.
