Jay Emmanuel’s latest work, Beneath the Music, is a new commissioned work exploring love, choice, and transformation through the coluorful life of a mother and son in search of each other
Partially inspired by Karthika Naïr’s award-winning book Until the Lions: Echoes from the Mahabharata, an original reworking of the epic Mahabharata, Beneath the Music offers a perspective into ancient and contemporary Indian imagination and culture through the centuries and examines to what degree sexuality and gender were once more fluid concepts.
An ultimate search for understanding, identity and love across cultures and history, Beneath the Music aims to explore the physical and ethereal nature of gender and sexuality through poignant and energetic theatrical vignettes combining dance and theatre.
