The festival preaches the art and beauty of imagination, languages from different cultural heritages through talks, reading, performances.
Saudha ( www.saudha.org ) is bringing new literature from different languages and different cultural heritages through this unique festival happening all around the UK.
Curated by poet Ahmed Kaysher, co-hosted by Sampad Arts, this session is featuring the aesthetics and the inner architecture of silence in arts through poetry and music performances with dance and painting as visual interpretation from different cultural traditions, reading, brief poetry theatres and interviews with experimental writers.
The session also focuses on celebrating the 200th birth centenary of Bengali major poet Michael Madhusudan Dutt as well as the 100th anniversary of Tagore's tour to explore China through talks and relevant reading.
Saudha Society of Poetry and Indian Music ( www.saudha.org ) is a leading platform for South Asian as well other global classical arts. Saudha is critically acclaimed for its series of experimental productions merging poetry, music and painting seamlessly so that each can complement each other.
Saudha attracted a diverse source of audiences from all different heritages through its series of presentations of mingling and bridging different arts from different corners of the world as the way of interpreting each other.
Saudha's production Songs of Sringar and Seduction & Frida Kahlo Through Indian classical music at the Royal Albert Hall has been highly praised by prominent ethno-musicologists, music and literature connoisseurs of the city and beyond.
Saudha's lyrics of Love at the SouthBank Centre and at Edinburgh Fringe and Chayanaut through Sebastian Bach at the House of Commons, Taste of Twilight at ICCR, Kolkata and the Welsh Parliament were critically acclaimed by major media and musicologists.
During Covid, Saudha took the first ever and historic initiative to connect leading musicians of the globe, writers, poets, painters and filmmakers from all across the world through social media platforms and the sessions were hugely appreciated by the audiences from all around the globe.
