Mallika Taneja: Do You Know This Song?

Fri 14. & Sat 15.06., 19.30h, Performance, Austrian Premiere

"Do You Know This Song? is a deeply layered ode to all the women’s voices that have gone unheard and everything that has been lost as a result." – Theaterkrant

A woman has lost her voice, she is no longer heard. In the second part of a trilogy about grief and mourning, Mallika Taneja dives deep into the past, searching for a voice lost many years ago. Navigating the trenches of loss and grief, she wades through long-forgotten stories to unearth a life that vanished… a voice ingrained in the memory of those who had heard it… but the song – disappeared.

With puppets, a harmonium, and a microphone, "Do You Know This Song?" recalls a past that keeps trying to speak to a present. The piece explores the potential of song to retrieve, hold and transform memories and loss into a larger shared space. The artist sings and invites people to join her.

Artist Talk: on Sat 15.06. following the performance. In English.
