Aditya Prakash: ROOM-i-Nation
Southbank Centre, Purcell Room, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]A new piece of gig theatre from the musician and artist explores the history of Asian immigration and invites us to reflect on our own stories of belonging.
Gig theatre may be an unexpected form for a classically trained Karnatik singer, but this story can’t be told by music alone. A thoughtful & compelling exploration of identity & tradition through the lens of music & storytelling, ROOM-i-Nation weaves together the threads of Karnatik classical music with the history of Asian immigration and stories of identity and belonging to offer a nuanced take on navigating two worlds.
ROOM-i-Nation brings to life Prakash’s 2023 album ISOLASHUN (New Amsterdam Records), using live music, a soundscape, video projection and personal stories to illuminate the immigrant experience and offer a hopeful look at bridging cultures, generations, and musical traditions.
The project draws from Prakash’s experiences growing up in Los Angeles, training in India, performing from a young age, and his deep engagement with Karnatik music and contemporary sounds. It’s an acknowledgment of the richness that comes from embracing our multifaceted selves and the art that emerges from this acceptance.
As composer Tigran Hamasyan says: ‘Aditya Prakash is a visionary artist that has found a way to speak to everyone while speaking in his own language.’
