Travel Light is a captivating musical experience that explores the complex emotions of movement and identity. This unique Howard Assembly Room performance brings together musicians from diverse backgrounds to create a rich, immersive sound journey that speaks to the universal experience of crossing borders.
Blending African, South Asian, and Western musical traditions, the show weaves together live instrumentation, poetic narration, and intricate rhythms. Audiences will be transported through a landscape of sound that reflects the delicate balance between what we leave behind and what we carry forward.
Led by composer Christella Litras and featuring original compositions by Deepa Shakthi and Thandanani Gumede, the performance offers an intimate and powerful exploration of cultural connection. From Carnatic vocal lines to African percussion and cinematic strings, Travel Light creates a musical conversation that celebrates resilience and shared human experience.
Produced by South Asian Arts-uk (SAA-uk) and supported by the PRS Foundation's Talent Development programme, this performance brings together emerging and established artists in a remarkable collaborative work.
