Songs of the Bulbul

29 April @ 7:15 pm - 30 April @ 7:15 pm BST

‘A tribute to my mother “Kay” … my smiling bulbul who left her cage.’- Aakash Odedra

Bird song is ephemeral–like dance, it exists only in the moment—sung once, then lost to time.

Nightingales, or “Bulbils”, 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 beloved and highlighting the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment.

SONGS OF THE BULBUL, a new dance work by 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.
