Gitanjali

Work:: Gitanjali (S0410018784)

A specially commissioned audio-visual concert of poetry, music and dance celebrating the 150th anniversary of the birth of the groundbreaking writer, artist and thinker Rabindranath Tagore. A groundbreaking writer, artist and thinker, Tagore was awarded the Nobel Prize for Gitanjali, a collection of 103 poems in English. Drawing on and inspired by nature and the seasons, Tagore relocates the master traditions of Romantic and Victorian poetry - Wordsworth, Keats, Tennyson - to his local environment of Bengal. The performance begins on the day Tagore read his Gitanjali poems to William Rothenstein, W.B. Yeats and other friends in his house on Hampstead Heath. Join us for a wonderful collaborative performance exploring a creative mind's poetic response to the natural environment.
