CHRONOTOPIA, Heggodu

Attakkalari recently performed its new multi-media work `Chronotopia ' at Ninasam, Heggodu.

Ninasam is a cultural organisation located in the village of Heggodu in Sagar Taluk of the Shivamogga district in the state of Karnataka, India. Ninasam (also spelt as Neenasam) is the short form of Sri NIlakanteshwara NAtyaseva SAMgha, an organisation dedicated to the growth of drama, films and publishing. Ninasam was the brainchild of the renowned dramatist and Magsaysay award winner, K V Subbanna. It is currently headed by K V Akshara, the son of Subbanna.

Chronotopia was performed by invitation at Ninasam, with an active `Meet the Artiste' session in both English and Kannada, facilitated by KV Akshara. Lively debates on the use of technology in performance followed, with an enquiring and receptive audience eager to know more about the performers, their thoughts and inspirations while creating the work.

It was performed at the Ninasam Auditorium, Heggodu at 7:15 pm.

Chronotopia is supported by the India Foundation for the Arts.We also thank the French Embassy in India, the Delegation Generale Des Alliances Francaises en Inde and The Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council of Canada for their support.
