The Heart Whispers and Whirls – The Resonant Heart weaves culture, music, and storytelling into one powerful performance.
“The Heart Whispers And Whirls’ is an immersive, multidisciplinary performance set to grace Queensland Multicultural Centre as part of BEMAC Live, this March.”
“At its core, the performance is a rich tapestry of multilingual storytelling, featuring works in Farsi, Hindi, English, Bosnian, Nuer, and Ladino. With instruments like the sitar and qanun weaving through powerful spoken word and evocative movement, the piece transforms the stage into a ritual of ancestral wisdom and artistic expression.”
“The ensemble includes Sudanese poet Nyaluelit ‘Lizzy’ Kuoth, Indian sitarist and singer Sarita McHarg, Iranian qanun player Vahideh Eisaei, and dancer Elnaz Sheshgelani. Joining them is Balkan and Sephardic Jewish music trio Saray Iluminado Femme, featuring vocalist Nela Trifkovic alongside instrumentalists Irine Vela and Kelly Dowall.”
