- 5 FLEUVES
- Explosive sounds, vocals, intense khatak– inspired sequences, video streaming, live percussion and base guitars are combined to create a hypnotic performance where dancers appear as installation: space transforms into living architectural symbols, video projection immersed in nature and the abstraction of geometry. Sound trembles through the body before it is heard and the audience is invited to wander and meditate in an interactive installation of a synthetic forest with each its own interactive sonic mix: this cross media performance / installation includes an extraordinary international team of artists.

- The piece metaphorically weaves interlocking narratives drawn from three canonical works of both Hindu and Indo Muslim/Persian/Arbo–Andolusian Traditions: Anarkali, a tragic court romance of Mughal India; the Bhagavad–Gita, the deeply philosophical climax of the Indian epic Mahabharata; and Risale–t–ul–wujudiyyah, a mystical treatise by the great Twelfth–century Sufi philosopher, Ibn al–Arabi. 5 Streams draws inspiration from seemingly counter punctual realities to explore the binary oppositions and the permeability of borders between them.
