See all dates for Songs of the Bulbul
Birdsong is ephemeral – like dance, it exists only in the moment – sung once, then lost to time. Nightingales, or “Bulbuls”, hold a special place in Persian culture, with their song representing a spiritual seeker, yearning for union with the divine. Their passionate songs are often directed towards the rose, symbolising both earthly beauty and the divine.
Songs of the Bulbul, a new dance work by Hippodrome Associate Aakash Odedra with choreography by Rani Khanam and music by Rushil Ranjan, is inspired by the ancient Sufi myth of a bulbul captured and held in captivity.
Aakash Odedra Company
