New Delhi’s iconic India International Centre (IIC) will host the 20th edition of its annual festival, The IIC Experience: A Festival of the Arts, from October 18 to 22.
This year's theme, Kalpavriksha: The Nationalist Movement – Freedom and Identity, will delve into the contours of India’s nationalist movement, which shaped the country's identity and ignited a cultural revival across dance, music, crafts, and the study of classical texts.
The festival, now in its 20th year, continues to celebrate the IIC’s legacy as a hub of diversity, creativity, and freedom. The event offers a wide-ranging program that will take place in both indoor and outdoor spaces, featuring music, dance, theatre, folk art, exhibitions, and food.
“We try to present the best in the field of dance, music, exhibitions and films. We really hope that the program will be liked by people of all ages,” said IIC director KN Shrivastava.
Dhrupad recital by Ustad F Wasifuddin Dagar and “Tanashah”, a solo dance drama based on Bhagat Singh’s prison diaries performed by renowned classical dancer Navtej Singh Johar, are among the cultural highlights of the program, which also includes a host of exhibitions like “The Future of the Past” and “Khadi: The Fabric of Freedom”.
The festival will be big on music and dance performances by international artists, and features a jazz concert as well as ‘Didida’, a contemporary dance from Korea, exploring mythological texts and collective unconsciousness.
The special screenings also include Shyam Benegal’s “Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero” and “Ekla Chalo” by Nachiket Patwardhan.
Besides, the food lovers will be spoilt for choices as they’ll get to indulge in a culinary journey with the choicest of cuisines such as multi-course Kashmiri Wazwan, famous street treats of New Orleans and a grand feast of Bangladeshi delicacies on offer.
