Event Description : The 38th Vikram Sarabhai International Arts Festival.
The 38th Vikram Sarabhai International Arts Festival explores different aspects of the issue of displacement. More and more people in India and elsewhere are getting displaced and dispossessed due to circumstances outside their control. Industrialization, mining, big dams, climate change, economic and political reasons lead massive groups of humanity to lose their homes and roots. UNHCR figures show increasingly wider swathes of humanity being uprooted and usually not finding proper rehabilitation. This project aims at bringing public awareness of the problem, to raise voices to influence governments, especially the Indian government, to put in place just, equitable and humane policies to settle these millions.

10th March : LDR
LDR is a multimedia performance that deals with the rootlessness and lack of sense of belonging of those that choose displacement for themselves—either going abroad for better economic prospects, or divided by time and circumstance from their moorings and loved ones.
Integrating dance, theatre, text and video, LDR explores the nature of long distance relationships and the displacement they bring, through their myriad complexities and disjunctions, whilst dealing with a fundamental question: how can we find togetherness when living apart and on the move? An affective soundscape layers the interplay of text and movement with a multitude of ‘voices’ that speak of waiting, desire and the silence in between separation.
Concept, Choreography and Direction : Revanta Sarabhai
Original Soundscape and Music : Sarathy Korwar
Performed by : Revanta Sarabhai & Sarathy Korwar
