Pratidhwani presents a companion performance to Seattle Asian Art Museum's exhibit: "Suchitra Mattai: she walked in reverse and found their songs"
Directed by Divya Rajan and presented by Pratidhwani, The Fabric of Your Being is a multi-textural, vibrant exploration of how stories of movement and migration are woven together to create unique and complex communities and experiences. Created out of a wide array of written works, including short stories, articles, and prose, The Fabric of Your Being offers a one-of-a-kind performance that begs audiences to reflect on deeper questions of self, community, and identity.
Featuring: Jayant Bhopatkar, Mrinalini, Sandhya Nathan, and Swarnim Vyas.
Costume design by Neha Dimri.
Fabric holds many meanings, literally and metaphorically!
Garments, accessories, sentimental heirlooms
Memories so sacred, and stories fondly nostalgic
Fabrics are known for being sturdy, hardy and resilient through time and use.
Fabrics are also known to be precious and delicate, needing to be preserved with utmost care.
Against the backdrop of all that is unfolding globally, why does the fabric of our being matter now, more than ever?
How do we preserve the threads of our cultural heritage?
What does it mean to keep alive our ancestral heir“looms”?
Join us from 3-4 pm as we reflect on how we weave the Fabric of Our Beings!
