Basile & Claudine in their studio (Photographer: Ayan)A Dana, Basile (alias Tutsy Navarathna) et Claudine nous ouvrent les portes de leur studio, où ils distillent avec précision des documentaires et des courts métrages sur Auroville. Installés ici depuis dix ans, ils nous livrent leurs impressions sur les évolutions culturelles et artistiques dont ils ont été témoins. Entre Second Life, le Bhagavad-Gitâ et Rimbaud, nous découvrons avec enthousiasme le travail de recherche et d'expérimentation de ces professionels. Ils posent ainsi les premières pierres d'une scène culturelle de haut niveau à Auroville. Read more

Shri Soham Munim on sitar and Shri Debashish Das on tabla (Photographer: Andrea)On a rainy Saturday evening Shri Soham Munim and Shri Debashish Dass performed an Indian classical concert at the Sri Aurobindo auditorium in Bharat Nivas. Shri Soham Munim was on that stage two years before when he played in a more progressive fusion concert. In this concert he played Hindustani Ragas on his sitar maintaining the classical art in its essence, and, also at the same time using a contemporary feel in his musical expressions. Shri Soham Munim was accompanied by Shri Debashish Dass on tabla. Read more

Srini the film-maker (Photographer: Ayan)On a beautiful day in New Creation, Srini shares with us the work and projects of the “journey” that has been for him Yatra Multimedia. Through education, pedagogy and a great deal of hard work, Yatra offers to Auroville and to the surrounding villages awareness movies for children. Srini's life-long passion for visual arts is livened up by his great sense of humor, characteristic of his movies which have won awards at the 2009 Auroville Film Festival. The Auroville visual arts scene is flourishing according to Srini, and he stresses the importance of youth to reach greater cultural achievements. Read more

Sarah Aristidou and Eleonore Marmoret accompanied by Carel on piano (Photographer: Andrea)The beauty in Auroville lies also in different surprises, and most of them do turn up as beautiful, inspiring, uplifting. Sunday couldn't finish its afternoon better than with a concert of classical music. Our ear buds were treated exceptionally with great voices of two guests – Sarah Aristidou and Eleonore Marmoret, studying opera singing in Paris, and accompanied by Carel on piano. With short songs and arias from operas we traveled trough centuries of European classical music... Pergolesi, Faure, Caccini, Cesarini, Mendhelssohn, Hayden, Strauss, Vivaldi, Mozart, Wolf, Satie...

Marco at the Tai Chi Hall (Photographer: Ayan)Nel giardino zen del Tai Chi Hall, siamo andati ad incontrare Marco, che, da più di vent'anni, invita giovani (e meno giovani) a sognare e riflettere al “Cinema Paradiso”. Tra i western e l'Auroville Film Festival, tra il cinema iraniano e il Matrimandir, tra Wong Kar-Wai e l'unità umana, Marco ha condiviso il suo rapporto particolare con il cinema ed il ruolo importante di quest'arte nell'esperienza di Auroville. Accompagnato dalla melodia melancolica e sensuale di “In the mood for love”, Marco ci offre le ultime novità sull'Auroville Film Festival del 2011. Nel silenzio meditativo di una sala di proiezione, gli essere umani sembrano più vicini.

Celebration of the Divinity

Andy and Ana (Photographer: Miriam)It has been quite some time since we had an opportunity or a reason to go to Verite for a cultural event, but Thursday night 5th of August proved again that the hall can offer some intimate settings with good acoustics. It felt good to enjoy the intimacy of the numerous listeners in the audience and the artist at the same time...like a circle of friends. Ana's origin is from Portugal, and Andy from Hungary; he danced for the Divine and for us to Odissi dance, which they learned from the same teacher. Both of them mastered postures and gestures of that very specific and elaborated dance, in which each hand gesture has a meaning and a reason. Tiago, Chloe, Caroline and Mariana rocked us with their melodious voices to Africa between dances. Read more

 (Photographer: )Just open your ears... For the World Listening Day Svaram invited us for a sound walk through Auroville soundscape. We started in Svaram crossing the village of Kotakarai, continue to the forest, arrive in the Matrimandir nursery and finally reached Unity Pavilion to listen to the mystique Russian bells. Listen to the recording of this walk and try to emerge yourself into the texture of sounds, feel reflection of sound to your inner landscape. The good thing is that we don't have to tell you how to listen, so enjoy !!

Finis les Frenchy ! (Photographer: Miriam)D'après les accords secrets internationaux que nous avons signé avec le comic-bureau des Genius Incorporated, nous ne pouvons dépasser le quota de blabla autorisé en français sur cette radio, qui est de 30 000 mots par an. Or, nous en sommes à la 21ème chronique. Une chronique étant égale à : 13 mots par ligne, 25 lignes par page, 5 pages par émission de 7 minutes, soit 1625 mots (environ 232,15 mots par minute). Ce qui nous fait un total de 34 127 mots. Nous avons donc largement débordé le contingent fixé et nous vous prions de ne pas nous excuser.
