Interview after perfomance of Bhu

After the Premiere of Bhu/Earth we interview the choreographer Philippe Pelen Baldini, his assistant Thierry Moucazambo and other artists of the dance and music performance.

Suresh, Percussionist and teacher of traditional Music of Kerala together with Prakash and Madhu from Swaram of Auroville created the background sound of the martial art dance show.

Suresh played on a large copper drum called Mizhavu. A traditional drum of Kerala which is almost 1000 year old. This hand percussion is considered as sacred and it is used to accompany the holy ritualistic temple performance Koodiyattam and Koothu.
Prakash and Madhu played on Swaram designed and produced instruments.
