“An elegant, haunting score that enhances the emotion on screen without overstating it… a powerful moving glimpse of a challenging, unwieldy masterpiece.” The Guardian
“We think the cinematic experience of the summer has to be Mother India 21st Century Remix…one not to be missed.” The Telegraph, UK
Presented by Kala Phool
A stunning adaptation of the classic Indian film, MI21 remixes, re-edits and rescores the original 3 hour epic into a 45 minute silent film with live music.
Award-winning British turntablist DJ Tigerstyle has composed a contemporary electronic and strings based score to convey the action and powerful emotions portrayed on screen.
Tigerstyle is joined on stage by Matt Constantine on the keyboards and electric cello and David Shaw on drums, with Josh Ford as MI21’s visual editor.
Nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film in 1957, Mother India 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 dramatic storyline.
