Shobana Jeyasingh Material Men redux, 2015

Material Men redux is a full length virtuoso piece for two dazzling performers of the Indian diaspora. Their chosen dance styles could not be more different classical Indian and hip hop. However, they share a history rooted in the dark realities of colonial migration and plantation labour. Material Men redux is a dynamic and moving exploration of the violence of loss and the creation of new ways of belonging, featuring a score by acclaimed Australian composer Elena KatsChernin, recorded by The Smith Quartet. Additional sound design by Leafcutter John.
