Songs of the Bulbul

Songs of the Bulbul is a new dance work by Aakash Odedra, with choreography by Rani Khanam and music by Rushil Ranjan. Drawing inspiration from an ancient Sufi myth, the work tells the story of a bulbul trapped in captivity. Bound by its constraints, the bird’s despair deepens as its final moments approach. Yet, it sings more sweetly as its end draws near, delivering one last heartbreaking song before its soul departs. This tale of sacrifice and beauty explores freedom found only in the ultimate release.
