Praarthanaa

Celebrating 'Death' in the life and thought of Gandhi

“Based on Ankit Chadha's years of continuing research on the Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi, 'Praarthanaa' is a musical dastan that tries to unravel the mystery of death, as seen by Gandhi. The narrative seamlessly connects the history in oral storytelling to the philosophy in the devotional songs sung during the prayers at Gandhi's ashrams. The stories range from the tales of personalities whose death influenced Gandhi in South Africa, to Gandhi's experiences of the death of his dear ones in India. The songs, composed by Vedanth Bharadwaj, include poetry by Tulsidas, Narsinh Mehta and Kabir among others.”
