Artist History "In 1999, a small group of artists and performers gathered on a series of cold winter evenings in my studio and began to experiment with the effects of light, colour, shadow and music... "What became 'Rama' was born then, a musical journey through Hindu 'Creation', 'Destruction' and 'Rebirth.' An important section of the show was 'The Ramayana', a classic Hindu tale showing the struggle between good and evil and featuring the heroes Rama and Sita. "The important features of the live performances were the experimental abandonment of narrative in some parts of the show. This allowed a few exploration of the combination of music, light, colour and shadow, and demonstrated these elements working together in unique harmony. "It was felt that in the most successful live performances this mixing of artistic forms brought to the audience the tremendous power of spiritual archetypes present in the Hindu faith, as well as providing an excellent sound track!"

Group Members Composed and performed by Marcus Campbell; Additional composition and Electric Guitars by James Hollingsworth Words; Jonathan Hayter. Dialogue spoken by; K Chatterjee and Jonathan Hayter.

Press Reviews (of Rama Show) "The silhouettes moved and danced through the colourful scenes, sometimes slow and contemplative, sometimes whirling through a psychedelic vortex. The atmospheric soundtrack worked perfectly, dark, mysterious, deep and dubby and then blatantly Rockin' just when it needed it." Maggie Louise - South West Puppeteers. June 2000.

Location Bristol, Bristol - United Kingdom
