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.

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.

Performance by - CORDAO DE OURO INDIA
