Kalagora is a Hindi neologism meaning black man / white man. This show tells his story: from a wild Millennium eve party in Manhattan to homecoming amid the grime and glory of London’s East End. The global wanderer plays witness to traffic accidents and street surrealism in Mumbai, the irresistible ‘city of motion’, observing the uncanny and the unexpected at the start of the twenty-first century. Across continents and timezones, a story emerges of love, chaos and addiction, a tale that evokes the colour and raw energy of these hybrid, multi-cultural cities. Blending poetry, monologue and theatre, and accompanied by specially commissioned video and music, Kalagora showcases the exciting new talent of Indian-born poet-performer Siddhartha Bose. Incorporating influences as diverse as free jazz, Indian epic and Shakespeare, this powerful new piece of live literature testifies to the scintillating shock of the new in a globalised world.
