7:45 pm - The Good Immigrant Song Cycle by Bishi, European Debut:
'Compelling' - Classical Voice North America
European debut of Bishi Bhattacharya's National Sawdust (NY, USA) commission The Good Immigrant - a song cycle response to Nikesh Shukla's book The Good Immigrant for voice looper, sitar and electronics. Co-produced with composer and sound designer Jeff Cook, this work was premiered in January 2018 in New York. This is the show's first European outing.
The music is inspired by ‘The Good Immigrant’, a collection of essays by 21 BAME writers, ruminating on race and identity in contemporary Britain edited by Nikesh Shukla. Each song is a response to a particular essay in the book, with special audio quotes sampled in from personal interviews conducted with writers Nikesh Shukla, Salena Godden and Darren Chetty, ending with a choral setting of Rabindranath Tagore’s ‘Where The Mind is Without Fear.’ In this work, critically acclaimed artist and composer Bishi takes a personal and intersectional journey reflecting on her experiences. As a British-Bengali daughter of immigrants, adopted by London’s community of alternative queer nightlife, she has lived through a unique cross section of London’s contemporary urban landscape.
