MauHaus Productions presents A Blind Play. Episode 30. “Kadamati”
Kadamati is Bengali for clay, the malleable matter capable of softness and hardness, of resilience and breakage. Kadamati is also the name of a dance devised by Akram Khan. A mass choreography open to the general public, it explores identity, connection, and belonging. It was performed in Trafalgar Square on the 24th of June 2016, the day after Britain broke, hardened and brittle, shattered by a referendum.
Kadamati was adapted from the personal essay of the same name by Chiara Vascotto.
