| Synopsis: | The performance fuses movement, electronics, video, text, and cutting-edge technology to explore archetypes that have shaped our histories and cultural identities, specifically, the texts Anakali (a tragic court romance of Mughal India), Bhagavad-Gita (sacred text of Hinduism), and Who Knoweth Himself (treatise by the Sufi philosopher Iba al-Arabi). The piece's title is inspired by the five tributaries of the Indus River, a region comprising the five nations of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka and influenced by the five pillars of Islam and the five principles of Hinduism. | |||||
