Today's interview with Susan Leger and Ashana Sophia discusses their upcoming collaboration.
For the first part of the event, there will be a full length feature of MANTRA – Sounds into Silence. This film shares the stories of people who are finding healing and a sense of inner peace by singing mantras together with others just like them. It’s a film about spirituality not religion, it’s about people reconnecting with their true selves and with others.
As our characters’ stories about their connection to the music unfold, we meet the musicians who have inspired them and brought them together. Through these encounters we will discover how Snatam Kaur, Deva Premal & Miten, Krishna Das, Lama Gyurme, Jai Uttal and MC Yogi, amongst others, came to this music themselves and to the practice of Kirtan, and how, over the years, it transformed their lives too.
Ashana Sophia will perform directly after the film with members of her band. They will be chanting Kirtan and leading everyone in a meditative and musical experience!
This event takes place at the Acadiana Center of the Arts on Monday December 2nd, 7:30pm.
