country: Bangladesh
year: 2018

synopsis

This is both a short documentary and an experimental drone composition from Bangladesh. A large group of harmonium players hold long tones, their vibrations combining to create a hypnotic sound field. The protest action draws attention to legal restrictions, which in present-day Bangladesh have led to the ban on and disappearance of the traditional instrument of independents, the harmonium.

biography

Bangladeshi artist and performer Rettu Sattar (1981) bases her performances on an exploration of time. She looks at the transient nature of existence, which she expresses in performances combining elements of theater and performance art.
