SHARING | Songs & Stories | Ashim Bery
May 13, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
‘Songs & Stories’ is an immersive musical journey with a handpan artist and a bass player, as they weave together storytelling and their music in a completely instrumental performance set-up. Each composition tells a unique story, inviting the audience to also explore and create their own narrative. Ashim and Abhishek also invite and engage with their audience at different intervals of the performance, by getting them to draw or write, or just doodle on a piece of paper, as they try and create a fully interactive and engaging experience that leaves a lasting impression on all who attend.
