Renowned Bangladeshi-born, UK-based vocalist, Lucy Rahman 
collaborates with the acclaimed Kathak artist, Amina Khayyam to imagine a meeting with Kazi Nazrul Islam, the giant of Bengali literature and arts, heralded as Bangladesh’s poet laureate and 'rebel poet', who from 1949 to his death in 1976 never spoke a word.

Lucy’s haunting vocals set the atmosphere for the emotionally-laden Kathak movement, bringing the modern-day relevance of Nazrul’s songs and writings to life.
