East Coast Artists presents Man Of The Heart, written and performed by Sudipto Chatterjee, doirected by Suman Mukherjee, at the Kraine Theater from the 27 Apr - 7 May 2006.
Man Of The Heart is a solo-performance on the life and times of Lalon Phokir, the 19th century Bengali Sufi-Baul mystic saint and song-maker. A meditation through words, movement, music and projected images, Man of the Heart explores Lalon�s long, productive, and devout life as he gathered disciples and composed hundreds of songs. Revered by Hindus and Muslims alike, Lalon's words and music create the possibility of a universal identity that undermines the religious divisions fueling violence around the world today.
