I EXIST – to Rajasthan

Together with musicians and artists from Europe and India, “IEXIST – to Rajasthan” takes us on a journey to mythical beginnings and ancient tales that describe the origins of the Romnja in Rajasthan. The piece was premiered in 2017 as a collaboration between the Marc Sinan Company and the Dresden Symphony Orchestra.

This year it will be revisited – now adding more modern, electronic sounds and an overall smaller set-up that allows the piece to be taken to multiple venues and places.

“I EXIST- to Rajasthan” is about survival – about the strength that allowed Sintize & Romnja to endure despite centuries of hostility and attempts at extermination in the Third Reich. An evening with contemporary and traditional Indian music, video and interview excerpts from the joint research trip to India, a multi-layered stage set and costumes by Damian & Delaine Le Bas, the unique performance by Iva Bittová and outstanding traditional Indian musicians.
