Pulsar MTV Stunt Mania

Thursday, December 17, 2009

Bikes... define a cause. The cause which can be anything from commuting to sheer passion. Whatever it be, riding a motorcycle takes you to a different high. The more you ride, the more you want to do it again.


Put a Dodge Viper engine on two Bridgestone tyres with an array of sophisticated circuits, throw in loads of Nitrox and give it in the hands of a maniac. What do you get? A mean machine that can easily put the Ferrari Enzo to shame, the pumping of adrenalin and the smell of burnt rubber. You get Stunt biking!

Mood Indigo bings you a team of young biking enthusiasts who call themselves "The Ghost Ryderz". Feel the wind on your face, take in the sense of freedom, hear the footpegs scraping the road...

Chris Korn

Extreme Korn, Radical Korn, and those are just a few words that people use to describe the sheer brilliance of his tricks. When Chris Korn performs, seeing is disbelieving. And that's just where the fun begins. If you were lucky enough to meet him when he last came to India a few years ago as part of the hit TV show “Mondo Magic” on AXN , you needn’t be told of his mastery of the sleight of hand or his ability to dumbfound and leave even the staunchest of disbelievers speechless.
He has brought the art of street magic to a totally different level with his brilliant and amazing tricks, he has astonished the people of over 3 continents and godknows how many more who watch him on television. If you missed him in India then, then get set for this, Chris is coming to Mood Indigo this year, that’s right he is coming to Mood Indigo to do what he does best bamboozle the audience with his magic tricks, where the only word that will come out of your mouth is “A-M-A-Z-I-N-G”. 

He’s a true master of his trade and when you meet him be prepared for one of the most incredible, dumbfounding experiences of your lifetime. You might try to figure out how he does it, you’ll think but never get it but don’t worry this is how he has left everyone who has met him.

Where will you find him in those 4 days of Mood Indigo? Anywhere, he’ll catch you when you are least expecting it, so we suggest be prepared, but do come and experience the magic.

kæpɵˈɛrə

Monday, November 30, 2009

Every year, it has been MOOD INDIGO’s indefatigable endeavour to bring out some snazzy new stuff that, along with the added advantage of taking you on a roller coaster ride of utter fun, introduces to you a new art form originating in some nook or corner of the world.

We bring this time a martial arts cum dance art form originated from Brazil!

Capoeira as a sport is played in several different ways, the two most common being Angola and Regional. In both there are defence and attack moves that are accompanied and even lead by the music and songs that the master (mestre) and students play and sing. Distinctive from other martial arts by this music, the continuous movement of the players and the minimal contact involved it is often (mis)taken for a dance. However, lets not the grace and flexibility of the players hide their strength and skill.

And as you can infer, the art form actually banishes the idea of violence and is a form of physical training where you concentrate solely on the stamina and fitness of the body with a complacent mind and peaceful spirits.

A Capoeira performance is in the offing this Mood Indigo, where you shall witness the feat among myriad others in the Carnival.

Stompbox

Saturday, November 28, 2009

ATS (Abhimanyu Tony Sound) is a recently formed Mumbai-based Group. Now, I'm confused whether to call them a music group or a dance group because they do it all!

Abhimanyu and Tony are experienced and well-established choreographers in their own right, but their act is refreshingly new to India. Stomping and Beatboxing individually require immense talent and to do it together is unimagineable. ATS Group will showcase their performance at Mood Indigo 2009. The versatility on display will leave you spellbound.
Watch their performance on Entertainment Ke Liye Aur Bhi Kuch Karega on Sony Entertainment Television. Just listen to what the judges say.

Legilimency

"The mind is not a book to be opened at will and examined at leisure." - Severus Snape.

But this is exactly what Mr. Chaitanya Tamhane (inset pic) does.
Mind Reading or Mentalism is no magic trick. It's a beautiful science which Chaitanya has mastered with years of study and practice. He will be performing this year at our very own Mood Indigo.

Apart from this, Chaitanya has also directed the play Grey Elephants in Denmark and has co-directed Medha and Zoombish 2 with Ramu Ramanathan.

The performance will make you go.. "How did he guess that?" and "OMG I hope he doesn't know what I'm thinking about this girl sitting next to me"

If you think you can hide your thoughts, think again... perhaps he would have seen your re-thought too!

Sand O'Bottle

Friday, November 27, 2009

Sand-in-a-Bottle
There cant be a better word to describe this event than FANTABULOUS!!!

Sand art, as it is commonly known, started as a souvenir to those who ventured to the Petra mountains in Jordan and has now spread to various parts of the world with each region adding its own flavour to the discipline. It involves making layers of different colours of sand to create various different pictures in the sand.

What started in the 1920's as a simple combination of coloured sands has grown so much over the years with more intricate detailing and inclusion of figures like camels that today sand art is creating ripples all over the world . The craft is simply put elegant. So get ready as this year, Mood Indigo brings to you Sand Art in the form of Jordanian artist, Younes Noaimat.

So prepare to get arty as sand, funnel and bottles replace the traditional art tools in an effort to create masterpieces in the layers of sand.

Ebru- A Turkish Islamic Art

We've all heard of people walking on water . Now come and watch someone paint on it. Yeah literally!!!

Still unclear?? Well, Ebru art is an art form that has little familiarity with Indians. It probably rings a bell when we use the term 'marbling' to describe this discipline. This technique employs hand made dyes and hand made brushes to mount a marble form onto paper.

So, Turkish Art Scholar Hicabi Gulgen comes to Mood Indigo this year to exhibit this exotic art form. A Master in Turkish-Islamic Arts, Hicabi spends a lot of time practicing classical Turkish techniques in Ebru. At Mood Indigo 2009, you will get a chance to see Hicabi's sensational works, and if your lucky, try your hand  at marbling. Not something worth missing for sure !!!!

Jake's Women

Genre : Theatre Play (English)

Duration : 120 minutes

So want to have fun? Then come to

Jake's Women - A play of Akvarious Production

America's premier comic playwright makes another hilarious foray into the world of modern relationships. Jake, a novelist who is more successful with fiction than with life, faces a marital crisis by daydreaming about the women in his life. The wildly comic and sometimes moving flashbacks played in his mind are interrupted by visitations from actual females.
Jake's women include a revered first wife who was killed years earlier in an accident, his daughter who is recalled as a child but is now a young woman, his boisterous and bossy sister, an opinionated analyst, his current wife who is leaving Jake for another man, and a prospective third wife. Jake and his women definitely deliver some of the funniest lines of contemporary theatre.
