Man
of the Heart is an original multi-media solo-performance
on the life and times of Lalon Phokir, the Sufi-Baul
minstrel from nineteenth century Bengal, who has come to
symbolize inter-faith and communal harmony. But this
production is no simplistic attempt to tell Lalon's story
through a flat biographic narrative that can at best be a
partial telling. Nor is it a dry, fact-based documentary.
Man of the Heart pushes the boundaries of normative
theatrical practice in its attempt to present Lalon as a
translucent lens to both look-at and look-through by means
of a multi-media performance, filled with song and dance
that invites the audience to both empathize and analyze.
