VIRAGO - DEBUT PERFORMANCE
It’s getting close to the debut date of our brand new
performance piece ‘Virago’ and we can’t wait to see you there!
I’ve had the privilege of watching this inspirational piece
go from a simple idea to an astounding masterpiece of dance and sound, and wow
it has been a journey.
We have used the thoughts and experiences of real women to
inspire this piece and to ensure a relatable connection with its audience.
Combined with the efforts of Ludic Rooms and Sonia Sabri’s artistic visionary
and talents, this show is set to be like no other.
‘Virago’ means ‘female warrior’ in Latin and Vira is ‘the
brave one’ in Hindi. This new performance explores the light vs. dark and the real vs. fairy-tale
versions of female existence, while discussing the choices and decisions we must make as we go through
life regardless of gender: there is no clear path to do the right thing, only
options, and not all of them are easy.
Sonia’s signature ‘Urban Kathak’ language merges on stage
with digital artistry, alongside a sound-score combining spoken word and music,
with rich and diverse influences: a cacophony of voices from Europe, the Middle
East, South Asia and Africa, representing and speaking to women worldwide, but
appealing to all of our humanity, regardless of gender and culture.
Prepare yourself for an evening of first class entertainment
that will touch your heart and leave you feeling moved.
Come and be part of the revolution.
