Note from Moushumi Bhowmik-

​

Borrowing from John Berger, we have imagined this work as a tribute to the
revolutionary process; a composition on our dreams for change which do not die, however bleak the circumstances. It is composed in three parts entitled ‘Rise’, ‘Fall’ and ‘Rise Again’, with song, reverie, slogans, beginning with field recordings from an old factory site along the Hooghly River in West Bengal, which once saw a massive workers’ uprising, but is now lying in disuse and decay, waiting. Waiting for what? To the sounds of old protests are added sounds from newer ones, in our continued struggles for a just world, free from wars and oppression.
