Aruna Mohanty's ‘Indian Swan Lake' production takes Odissi to global stage
The production that was showcased in Aschaffenburg, Leverkusen and Schloss Sanssouci in June this year, intertwined the timeless beauty of a classical ballet Swan Lake with Nala Damayanti story from the epic, Mahabharata.
At its heart lay the shared motif of the swan, a symbol of beauty, grace, and divine connection in Indian mythology as well as in Swan Lake.
Mohanty gave a pictorial presentation of the collaboration and spoke about it during an event in the city on Wednesday. The choreography brought together melodies of Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake and the traditional Odissi music to create a harmonious fusion of musical and dance traditions of Odisha and Europe.

Virat Kohli Seen Chatting With Locals In London, Video Goes Viral
Last Updated: Kohli, who is one of the greatest batters of all time, lives in London now with his wife, Anushka Sharma, and two kids – Vamika and Akaay. Legendary Indian batter and former captain Virat Kohli lives in London now with his wife, Anushka Sharma, and two kids – Vamika and Akaay. The Delhi-born cricketer moved to the European city sometime back. Since the conclusion of IPL 2025, he has not returned to India. He last made a public appearance during an event organised by former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh in London last month. Kohli, who is expected to feature for India in the three-match ODI series against the Australia team in October 2025, was recently spotted strolling through the streets of London with his wife, Anushka. In the clip going viral on the internet, Kohli can also be seen chatting with locals and sharing a laugh. Virat Kohli And @AnushkaSharma Spotted Strolling Through The Streets Of London.💖.... #Virushka @imVkohli — virat_kohli_18_club (@KohliSensation) August 17, 2025 Kohli, who ended his 18-year-long wait for winning an IPL title with Royal Challengers Bengaluru on June 4 in Ahmedabad, announced his retirement from Test cricket on May 12, 2025. He took to Instagram to share a post which confirmed his exit from the five-day format of the game. During his 14-year-long Test career, Kohli played 123 Tests for India and, with the help of 30 centuries and 31 fifties, amassed a total of 9230 runs. He finished his career as the fourth leading run scorer for India in Tests and also holds the record for winning the most Tests as India captain. Under Kohli's leadership, India played 68 Test matches from 2014 to 2021 and won 40. Kohli, who has more than 27,500 runs to his name in international cricket, had retired from T20Is last year. On June 29, 2024, after India defeated South Africa by seven runs in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024, Kohli, while speaking during the post-match presentation ceremony, said that he is stepping away from the shortest format of the game. Kohli, who is all set to be part of India's ODI squad for the Australia series in October, will have a chance to break Kumar Sangakkara's record and become the second leading run-getter in the 50-over format of the game. During his playing days, Sangakkara scored 14,234 runs in 404 matches, whereas Kohli has 14,181 runs to his name in 302 ODIs. He needs to score 54 more runs to go past Sangakkara's tally. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Afghan youth orchestra: Resistance against the Taliban
AP file photo In August 2021, when the Taliban once again seized power in Afghanistan, the entire Afghan Youth Orchestra managed to flee to Europe. For the past four years, the young musicians of the Afghanistan National Institute of Music (ANIM) have found a new home in Portugal and are now guests at the Young Euro Classic Festival in Berlin. "Making instruments and playing music is completely forbidden in Afghanistan," said Ahmad Sarmast, founder and director of ANIM. He said he was able to help 273 people associated with his music school flee Afghanistan. His Kabul school was then closed and the instruments were destroyed. "Listening to and playing music is a human right. The people of Afghanistan are denied this right," Sarmast told DW. "This has turned my country into a 'silent nation'." Young Euro Classic wants to preserve musical traditions But Afghan music lives on in exile, including at the Young Euro Classic. Hundreds of young musicians from all over the world perform at the annual international youth orchestra festival, with European and non-European orchestras and ensembles alike invited to participate. "The core of the festival remains symphonic music and how differently countries deal with this tradition of classical music," said project manager, Carolin Trispel. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Take a spoonful on an empty stomach and watch the fat go down the drain gofitlifeguide Click Here Undo Meanhile in the still young "Festival within a Festival' series, ensembles primarily perform music from their home countries and play traditional instruments from their cultures. "We are also interested in preserving musical traditions for the future and providing a platform for their further development," said Trispel. This year, in addition to Afghan musicians, ensembles from Bolivia, Indonesia, India, Gambia, and the indigenous Sami people of northern Scandinavia will also be participating. Forbidden music finds new voice Some of these ensembles play traditional music that was banned in their respective homelands. This includes the singing of the Sami people, known as "joik." This spiritual-sounding chant was prohibited from the 18th to the 20th century as it was seen as an expression of a non-Christian religion. "You often see this with indigenous peoples, that their own musical language was suppressed by colonization and the musical tradition was no longer allowed to be practiced," Trispel explained. The Bolivian ensemble, Dos pares de la Orquesta Experimental de Instrumentos Nativos plays old tunes from the Andes as well as new pieces composed especially for their traditional instruments. Meanwhile, the Azada Ensemble is an Afghan group within the youth orchestra that performs traditional music and dances. Their performances highlight the connection between humans and nature, as well as the beauty of the country and its music. Protesting Taliban social policy The Afghan Youth Orchestra was a guest in Bonn in 2023 as part of the DW Campus project at the Beethovenfest, along with Iranian musicians. "When we came to Bonn, the whole orchestra was not there, only part of it," said the orchestra's founder, Ahmad Sarmast. In Berlin, the entire orchestra's 51 members are now performing in the Young Euro Classic, and they will put on the final concert. "Every piece we play is in some way connected to the current situation in Afghanistan and the policies of the Taliban," said Sarmast. The songs performed by the Afghan Youth Orchestra deal with themes like social cohesion. "One song is a call to Afghan men to support oppressed women in their struggle for freedom and equality,' explains Sarmast. One well-known traditional piece is closely associated with celebrating the New Year in Afghanistan, but the Taliban have banned both the festival and the music — and destroyed countless musical instruments. "This has been celebrated in Afghanistan for thousands of years," explained Sarmast. "Playing this piece is a protest against the Taliban's destruction of cultural tradition in Afghanistan." 'Hope lives on' The last of the concert songs, which were arranged by Tiago Moreira da Silva, a young Portuguese conductor and director of the orchestra, is based on a well-known Persian poem about the return of spring — and the return of peace. Ahmad Sarmast quotes the Chilean poet and freedom fighter Pablo Neruda: "You can cut down the flowers and trees, but spring will always return, and you cannot stop freedom." The orchestra keeps in touch with its homeland via social media, and also by streaming their concerts. "Hope lives on," said Sarmast, who believes the day will come when the arts can flourish again in Afghanistan. "We want the Taliban to know that no oppressive regime in human history has ever managed to stay in power. And that will also be the case with the Taliban."

With the Bayeux Tapestry that tells of their long rivalry, France and Britain are making nice
BAYEUX, France — For centuries, the storytelling masterpiece has been a source of wonder and fascination. In vivid and gruesome detail, the 70-meter embroidered cloth recounts how a fierce duke from France conquered England in 1066, reshaping British and European history. With the Bayeux Tapestry that tells of their long rivalry, France and Britain are making nice The Bayeux Tapestry, with its scenes of sword-wielding knights in ferocious combat and King Harold of England's famous death, pierced by an arrow to an eye, has since the 11th century served as a sobering parable of military might, vengeance, betrayal and the complexity of Anglo-French relations, long seeped with blood and rivalry but also affection and cooperation. Now, the medieval forerunner of today's comic strips, commissioned as propaganda for the Normandy duke William known as 'the Conqueror' after he took the English throne from Harold, is being readied for a new narrative mission. Next year, the fragile artistic and historic treasure will be gingerly transported from its museum in Bayeux, Normandy, to star in a blockbuster exhibition in London's British Museum, from September 2026 to July 2027. Its first U.K. outing in almost 1,000 years will testify to the warming latest chapter in ties across the English Channel that chilled with the U.K.'s acrimonous departure from the European Union in 2020. The loan was announced in July when French President Emmanuel Macron became the first EU head of state to pay a state visit to the U.K. since Brexit. Bayeux Museum curator Antoine Verney says the cross-Channel trip will be a home-coming of sorts for the tapestry, because historians widely believe that it was embroidered in England, using woolen threads on linen canvas, and because William's victory at the Battle of Hastings was such a major juncture in English history, seared into the U.K.'s collective consciousness. 'For the British, the date — the only date — that all of them know is 1066,' Verney said in an interview with The Associated Press. Moving an artwork so unwieldy — made from nine pieces of linen fabric stitched together and showing 626 characters, 37 buildings, 41 ships and 202 horses and mules in a total of 58 scenes — is further complicated by its great age and the wear-and-tear of time. 'There is always a risk. The goal is for those risks to be as carefully calculated as possible,' said Verney, the curator. Believed to have been commissioned by Bishop Odo, William the Conqueror's half-brother, to decorate a new cathedral in Bayeux in 1077, the treasure is thought to have remained there, mostly stored in a wooden chest and almost unknown, for seven centuries, surviving the French Revolution, fires and other perils. Since then, only twice is the embroidery known to have been exhibited outside of the Normandy city: Napoleon Bonaparte had it shown off in Paris' Louvre Museum from late 1803 to early 1804. During World War II, it was displayed again in the Louvre in late 1944, after Allied forces that had landed in Normandy on D-Day, th, of that year had fought onward to Paris and liberated it. The work, seen by more than 15 million visitors in its Bayeux museum since 1983, 'has the unique characteristic of being both monumental and very fragile,' Verney said. 'The textile fibers are 900 years old. So they have naturally degraded simply due to age. But at the same time, this is a work that has already traveled extensively and been handled a great deal.' During the treasure's stay in the U.K., its museum in Bayeux will be getting a major facelift costing tens of millions of euros . The doors will close to visitors from Sept. 1 this year, with reopening planned for October 2027, when the embroidery will be re-housed in a new building, encased on an inclined 70-meter long table that Verney said will totally transform the viewing experience. How, exactly, the treasure will be transported to the U.K. isn't yet clear. 'The studies required to allow its transfer to London and its exhibition at the British Museum are not finished, are under discussion, and are being carried out between the two governments,' Verney said. But he expressed confidence that it will be in safe hands. 'How can one imagine, in my view, that the British Museum would risk damaging, through the exhibition, this work that is a major element of a shared heritage?' he asked. 'I don't believe that the British could take risks that would endanger this major element of art history and of world heritage.' Leicester reported from Paris.
