Italian duos' Ravi Shankar piece at pre-Biennale concert wins huge applause
Kochi, July 19 (UNI) Half a century after maestro Pt. Ravi Shankar composed the iconic L'Aube enchantée (The Enchanted Dawn) as a two-instrument score in Raaga Todi, Tommaso Benciolini and Lorenzo Bernardi, two young musicians from Italy performed the 11-minute composition during a flute-and-guitar concert in the city. Flautist Benciolini blew out softly the morning melody while Bernardi plucked the strings of his guitar to further enhance the pathos of the classical notes tuned by the legendary sitarist in 1976. The piece won special applause at the gathering in Mattancherry, where the visiting duo presented a 75-minute performance, jointly organised by the Kochi Biennale Foundation (KBF) and the Italian Cultural Institute, as part of the lead-up to the upcoming Kochi-Muziris Biennale. At the Indian Chamber of Commerce building, Tommaso and Bernardi tuned on an electronic tanpura ahead of playing L'Aube enchantée that evolved out of a meeting Ravi Shankar (1920-2012) had with French flautist Jean-Pierre Rampal and his compatriot Alexandre Lagoya (guitarist) in the mid-1970s. 'Of late, nine months ago, as we knew of this India trip coming, Lorenzo and I did some research, wanting to present an item for the audiences in this country,' said 34-year-old Tommaso, adding that they have been playing the piece in all venues of late. The duo's Kerala programme, titled 'Echoes of Italy' came after their concerts in Delhi, Lucknow and Dimapur in Nagaland. L'Aube enchantée begins with a brief alaap sketching the scale of the poignant Todi, largely developed by Mian Tansen who sang in the court of Mughal emperor Akbar in the 16th century. As Benciolini and Bernardi rolled out the piece, which was a part of the trans-continental 'East Meets West' album conceived by Ravi Shankar, the audience on Friday evening listened in rapt attention, only to explode in loud cheers at the end of the performance. The pair next contrasted the dawn raga with 'Nightfall', a contemporary composition known for its simplicity. Tuned in a minor scale that partly corresponds with the Indian classical raga Keeravani, the piece known for its minimalist brilliance is composed by Italian Roberto Di Marino, now 69. This came after a three-movement sonatina composed by New York-based Marco Beltrami known for his association with Hollywood and TV scores in America. 'This carries a lot of inner dialogue,' said Bernardi. The concert began with an Italian overture that used to typically open the operas during the Enlightenment period. The longest among the pieces the duo performed was a 22-minute centrepiece by 20th-century Argentine Tango composer Astor Piazolla of Italian descent. The sixth edition of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, titled 'For the Time Being', will be a 110-day show opening on December 12. Curated by artist Nikhil Chopra with HH Art Spaces, an artist-led organisation based out of Goa, the biennale will conclude on March 31, 2026. UNI DS GNK

Malayalam actor Shafeeq Mustafa on becoming Sivarasan in ‘The Hunt - The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case'
Actor Shafeeq Mustafa is a revelation in the Nagesh Kukunoor web series The Hunt —The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case. As the mercurial Sivarasan, the mastermind behind the 1991 assassination of the former prime minister, Shafeeq impresses in his breakout role. The Kochi-based actor is visibly happy over the outcome and the feedback coming his way from industry peers. For the 35 year-old self-taught actor who hails from Shoranur, the role was way beyond his wildest dreams. It came via a friend who told him about a production house that needed a South Indian actor. A round of auditions later, which included a dummy scene-and-look test, he was in. He is still excited about having got the opportunity to work with a director like Nagesh Kukunoor. 'It is an honour for me to work with someone like Nagesh sir. It is not like I am an established actor, I am trying to build a career for myself in films, and to get to work with him…I have given it my best shot!' His experience by way of a feature film is the 2020 film Ayyappanum Koshyum, in which he had a few scenes. Sivarasan's character as shown in the web series is complex, intelligent and cunning. He has an air of quiet resolve mingled with arrogance all of which Shafeeq has been able to translate onscreen without going over the top. Since Shafeeq was barely a year old when the events depicted in the series took place, he had a clean slate on which to draw the character. 'While part of my research came from documentaries, interviews about him, news reports, and photographs, the rest of it came from talking to people who lived through those times, especially journalists. This way I could try to get into the mind of the character,' Shafeeq says. Nagesh's inputs were of great help, he adds, in shaping the character per his vision. 'I had not read 90 Days (Anirudhya Mitra's book, the series is based on) I did not know the length of my character… I did not know too much about The Hunt. I gave it a shot because it felt unlike anything I'd encountered in my career so far, even though I am just starting out.') Of the challenges of essaying Sivarasan, the Sri Lankan dialect of Tamil aside, he says it was physically demanding. 'The prosthetic eye was a literal pain in the eye. It was so painful that often my eye would start watering. It was, literally, placing a foreign object in the eye and sometimes it would pop out. That was the actual difficult part. Nagesh sir would apologise about the discomfort…Imagine someone of his stature doing that!' Though Shafeeq has not learnt acting, he was involved in theatre while in school. He came to Kochi, pursued his cinema dreams dabbling in different departments including editing and as an assistant director. 'These were all my friends, so I could be around films, a part of movies!' Although he does not have too many feature films under his belt, he has been part of a few, including the noteworthyThiruttu Mundam. The film, directed by Renjith Vijayan, was an official selection at the International Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala (IDSFFK 2023). He does not know what comes next, but for now he is savouring the moment and the feedback from people such as Ahammed Khabeer, director of Kerala Crime Files, who told him that his performance was 'honest and essayed with absolute integrity.' The Hunt - The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case is streaming on SonyLiv

Kochi Biennale Foundation screens ‘The Leopard's Tribe'
KOCHI: The Kochi Biennale Foundation (KBF) screened the acclaimed documentary film, 'The Leopard's Tribe', on Wednesday evening. Directed by Miriam Chandy Menacherry, the 39-minute documentary essays the acquisition of the Aarey forest area adjoining the bustling Mumbai for building a metro car shed. It focuses on development versus conservation, and talks about environmental protection through the inhabitant tribal community. For the original population of Aarey in Goregaon, renowned for the Sanjay Gandhi National Park called the 'Lungs of Mumbai', the big cat is their god of daily worship. Even so, the forest belt is being destroyed for a facility to maintain and repair the local trains that form the core of the megacity's surface transport. The film pans out the message that sustainable construction activities can go hand-in-hand with economic rise and social well-being. KBF showed the film in Edappally, amid the active participation of Kochiites. The screening at the Kerala Museum comes five months ahead of the sixth edition of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale (KMB) by the KBF.
