मोल / MOL | A Contemporary Dance Performance Choreographed by Mukta Nagpal and Ashish Rao, Produced by Program Trinity

Aug 17 2024 – 8:00pm-10:00pm

About the event

Inspired by the ancient practice of ‘Ghunghat’, मोल delves into the ongoing discrimination against women, exploring themes of duty, honor, and authority through powerful movement.

ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE
मोल (MOL) is a contemporary dance theatre work based on the personal experiences of the choreographers, Mukta Nagpal and Ashish Rao, hailing from north India. Inspired by the ancient cultural practice of ‘Ghunghat’, this work shines a light on the never-ending discrimination against women, on how they continue to suffer or even sometimes choose to suffer. Mol explores the themes of duty, honor, and authority, using movement to portray the struggle between genders and the scale that always weighs heavy on one side.

Mukta has performed at the reputed Alexandrinsky theatre in St.Petersburg, Russia in 2022 under the direction of Boris Eifman Academy and was invited to perform at the World Youth Festival in Sochi, Russia in 2024. While Ashish founded Program Trinity, a dance education program in 2019 and has mentored and taught students from all the world through online and offline platforms.

IFBE

The Ice Factory at Ballard Estate (IFBE) is an experimental laboratory for transdisciplinary practices across modern and contemporary architecture, art, and pedagogy. The conserved and refashioned structure is itself a historical object; its complexity, diversity, and paradoxical forms of architecture are instruments for the invention of knowledge. Malik Architecture has created an architecture that does not settle, one with spaces to breathe through a crystallization and mutation of traditional, modern, and contemporary experiments. A century-old embodiment... of “the dreams that stuff is made of.” IFBE’s community of architects, artists, scholars, and students exists in the expanding complexity and multiplicity of the present without sacrificing a fidelity to pasts and archiving, to build and chronicle in the here and now, what Reinhard Koselleck felicitously called “futures past.”
