MOTHER INDIA – 21st CENTURY REMIX

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

Mother India, 21st Century remix, KALA PHOOL

In an exciting partnership with KALA PHOOL, The Drum have co-commissioned MOTHER INDIA 21st CENTURY REMIX (MI21).

MI21 is a dynamic live audio/visual project to re-score and re-visualize the groundbreaking ‘tour-de-force’ of Indian cinematic history ‘Mother India’.

Winner of the Oscar for best Foreign Film in 1957, the film came to symbolise the post-colonial Indian psyche interpreted through the ambitions, struggles, compassion and sheer will to survive of the central ‘Mother’ character Radha.

Profoundly influential, Mother India was lauded for its stunning cinematography, indelible soundtrack and powerfully dramatic storyline.

KALA PHOOL has brought the film together with one of the world’s leading Turntablists and electronic composers; British Asian DJ Tigerstyle (former World DMC and ITF champion) to reinterpret the score through a unique live electronic performance to commemorate India and Pakistan’s Independence.

Tigerstyle uses turntables and electronics, accompanied by the prodigious talents of Cellist, Matt Constantine and Drummer David Shaw, to present the film for a contemporary audience.

Experimental, yet true to the source, the film has been specially recut and remixed exclusively for this performance.

An extroadinary film and an extraordinary reimagining.

So you can experience this amazing work, we are presenting MI21 during its developmental stages at a club night in Birmingham, and in a theatre space in London.

Later in the year MI21 will return home to The Drum in all its splendor for a prestigious launch before embarking on a national tour.

Film re-edit by The Renderghost.
