Mother India - 21st Century Remix

T0677539105
MI21 is a dynamic live audio/visual project to re-score and re-visualize the groundbreaking 'tour-de-force' of Indian cinematic history Mother India. Winner of the Oscar for best Foreign Film in 1957, the film came to symbolise the post-colonial Indian psyche interpreted through the ambitions, struggles, compassion and sheer will to survive of the central Mother character Radha. Profoundly influential, Mother India was lauded for its stunning cinematography, indelible soundtrack and powerfully dramatic storyline. KALA PHOOL has brought the film together with one of the world's leading turntablists and electronic composers; British Asian DJ Tigerstyle (former World DMC and ITF champion) to reinterpret the score through a unique live electronic performance to commemorate India and Pakistan's Independence. Tigerstyle uses turntables and electronics, accompanied by the prodigious talents of cellist Matt Constantine and drummer David Shaw, to present the film for a contemporary audience. Experimental, yet true to the source, the film has been specially recut and remixed exclusively for this performance. An extraordinary film and an extraordinary reimagining. After the performance, the audience is invited to comment on the performance.
