Songs of The Bulbul
Edinburgh International Festival
Aakash Odedra’s latest piece blends Sufi Kathak dance with Islamic poetry to explore the fleeting nature of life. Inspired by a Sufi myth about a bulbul bird that sings before dying from despair, the work symbolises the transience of beauty and existence.
Developed with choreographer Rani Khanam and composer Rushil Ranjan, this performance combines new music with traditional Sufi elements, creating a spiritual and emotionally resonant experience
