Memory Bazaar & the Jazz of Silence

What does it mean to remember? To listen? To become?

Memory Bazaar & the Jazz of Silence emerges from iLOGY’s ongoing enquiry into memory, time, silence, and creative evolution. It is an invitation to enter a space where memory is not merely recalled, but encountered; where silence is not the absence of sound, but a living landscape of intuition, resonance, and possibility.

In a world that continually asks us to become efficient, predictable, and certain, this work asks a different question: what becomes possible when we risk the unknown? When we step beyond habit, beyond inherited patterns of survival, and allow ourselves to meet each moment with renewed attention?

At the heart of this performance lies an exploration of becoming rather than being. It is shaped by an ongoing enquiry into the self, the body as an archive of memory, and the evolving vocabularies of craft that both reveal and conceal who we are. Through the iLOGY praxis, performance becomes not an act of representation, but a living process of creative evolution.

Memory Bazaar & the Jazz of Silence invites audiences into a shared space where the visible meets the invisible, where silence carries many voices, and where every moment holds the possibility of another beginning.

For if memory has its own rhythm, and silence its own music, then perhaps time is not something we move through, but something we learn to inhabit.

What, then, is the velocity of time?

Theatre is transcendental. Just like experiencing ‘Brahman’ – Janardan Ghosh

Theatre is transcendental. Just like experiencing ‘Brahman’. Primordial Theatre was used to communicate with the Gods.  It seems that the notions of God and performance were born together.  What was the pressing need for these creations? One common answer could be to search for an abstraction named ‘Truth’. While ritualistic theatre has thinned a lot,…
