Through stories, objects, scents, sounds, and taste, this interactive performance-lecture searches for plural ways of family and home through a more-than-human lens. Flamingoes borrow their colour from what they consume; cuckoos don\u2019t raise their own children, and the Jacobin Cuckoo has likely never flown over the Church of the Jacobins in Toulouse. The Golden Record carries human greetings from the Earth, and the salt in your last meal migrated across geological time.<\/p>\n<p><i>Can a longing to let go co-exist with a yearning to root?<\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Created and performed by:<\/strong> Nitish Jain<br \/>\n<strong>Dramaturgy:<\/strong> Ine Ubben, Katja Vaghi and <span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Sima Djabar Zadegan<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Music:<\/strong> Raaghav Dhingra and Saurabh Levin<br \/>\n<strong>Scenography and Production Assistance:<\/strong> Tiber Yilmaz and Lidia Teleki<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-accordion\">\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-offset-2 col-md-8\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<block-accordion inline-template>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<block-accordion-item inline-template item-headline=\"Nitish Jain\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div ref=\"item\" data-id=\"NitishJain\" class=\"block-accordion-item vue-initialize\" aria-expanded=\"false\" :aria-expanded=\"active ?

Interested in exploring non-visual aesthetics, he invites audiences to sense rather than see art by incorporating touch, taste, smell, listening and vision in different ways. His approach with the senses draws from phenomenology and the Indian rasa aesthetics (denoting essence, flavor or evocative phenomena). Nitish makes multi-sensory experiences with his artistic company Studio MoreThanThat. His works have been featured at various international festivals, regions and communities across Czechia, Germany, Norway, the UK, UAE and India; serving as a sensory antidote to politics of hate, race and gender. Nitish Jain was fellow of the International Forum of the Theatertreffen Berlin Festival 2024.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div
