The event includes appearances from up-and-coming performance poets D'Archetypes who mix comedy and political narrative into farcical cabaret, and is the first opportunity for UK audiences see Mumbai-based musician Mukul, whose last LP was produced by Howie B. Mukul fuses poetic lyricism with smoky beats to create a portrait of Mumbai that is both refined and unexpected.
D'Archetypes, Sujata Goel and Tarek Halaby, and Mukul
This evening of performance and video presents a glimpse into the creative exchange between London and Mumbai.

At 21.45 Sujata Goel and Tarek Halaby erupt from the crowd gathered in Cafe' 2 to perform Disco Dancer, a duet for a man and a woman.This is a dance adapted from an Indian film called DISCO DANCER made in 1982. It attempts to reconstruct a 'B-grade' style of Bollywood film dancing, to examine how popular dance languages are representative of social issues, such as sexuality and stardom. This piece is an introduction to a longer research that is rooted in studying the relationship between dance and cinema, and how the two mediums function as representations of society.
Sujata Goel is a dancer trained in a form of South Indian classical dance called Bharatanatyam. She studied in the traditional style of learning known as gurukula, in Madras, India for seven years, first under VP and Shanta Dhananjayan and then at Kalakshetra College, where she finished her BA in Fine Arts/Bharatanatyam. She joined PARTS, a contemporary dance school run by Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker in Brussels Belgium, to begin making her own work and studying Western dance forms, both classical and contemporary. She has recently graduated from PARTS, and is now based in Brussels, where she teaches and is making her own work, currently in collaboration with Tarek Halaby (PARTS), filmmaker Laurent Van Lancker, Celine Perroud (ex DV8), and Sancra Iche (PARTS).
