Roger’s Masala!Mehndi!Masti! (M!M!M!) is back again with a bang for its eighth explosive year! The largest free South Asian multi-disciplinary arts festival outside of South Asia will take place over the weekend of July 25-27 at Exhibition Place, downtown Toronto. This year promises to be bigger and better, as the festival showcases the best in contemporary, traditional and fusion South Asian culture by local and international artists.
A multitude of events in film, music, dance, theatre, visual arts, literary arts, and more are joined by provocative panels and succulent South Asian dishes!
This year’s highlights:
MMMovies! – A Nandita Das Retrospective: July 25,26,27 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. MMMovies! will present a retrospective of critically acclaimed actress and social activist, Ms. Nandita Das, who shot to international fame for her controversial role in director Deepa Mehta’s movie “Fire”. Her work in several other movies like “Maati Maay”, “Amar Bhuvan” and “Bawandar” has won her many awards for Best Actress. She also served as member of the jury at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in 2005 and was most recently awarded the highly coveted French award “Ordre des Arts et des Lettres”, the most prestigious recognition given by the Government of France, to those making a difference in the arts. Ms. Das will be in attendance at the screenings for all three days and will also discuss her work and role as a social activist at a ‘Master Class’.
Rishi Mehta’s award winning movie “Amal”, starring venerable actor Naseeruddin Shah and Rupinder Nagra will also be screened. “Amal” tells the story of a humble rickshawallah in Delhi and is a commentary on the twists of fate.
Karsh Kale, Vishal Vaid and MIDIval PunditZ: . New York based producer Karsh Kale and New Delhi based electronica group The Midival Punditz pioneered a sound synonymous with the sublime blurring of boundaries between classical Indian, electronica and rock. They coined the name “Asian Massive” to describe this genre. Five years and four albums later, this all-star lineup returns with a fierce live set that will include new material and featured guest musician and ghazal vocalist, Vishal Vaid.
An Excerpt from Anita Majumdar’s play-The Misfit. For theatre lovers, M!M!M! has invited this award winning actress of the CBC film Murder Unveiled and the play Bombay Black, to delight audiences with her theatrical prowess and a special Q&A session.
Mission:on Mars. For a different sound beat this New York City-based performing ensemble and music collective mixes live breakbeat rhythms, Indian classical sitar melodies, space-jazz guitar, and Middle Eastern drones. A real musical treat!
