About the performance
Joti Singh's "Ghadar Geet: Blood and Ink" merges dance, poetry, and live music to chronicle the Bay Area's Ghadar Party, a revolutionary force in India's fight for independence from British rule. Rooted in her training in Bhangra and Giddha—traditional Punjabi dances that embody both celebration and resistance—Joti pushes the boundaries of these forms to depict the enduring legacy of anti-colonial struggles. Drawing inspiration from her great-grandfather, Bhagwan Singh Gyanee, a prominent Ghadar leader and prolific poet, Joti collaborates with singer Ishmeet Narula to compose the soundtrack. Infusing her own poetry with her ancestor's verses, Joti illuminates the personal inheritance of her family's legacy of art, revolution and resistance. Ghadar Geet serves as a bridge, connecting generations through the rhythm of struggle and the enduring quest for liberation, revealing the living connections that bind our history to the present.

The commission and production of this premiere is made possible in part by the Gerbode Foundation Special Award in the Arts program.

Ghadar Geet: Blood and Ink was made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts' National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Foundation and the Mellon Foundation.
