Acclaimed visual artist and filmmaker Hetain Patel presents his latest work which uses movement and audio interviews to explore generational change across his Brit-Gujarati family.

Following the passing of a number of first-generation immigrants in his family, British-born Hetain reflects on what is lost and what is transformed, revisiting rituals rooted in his family’s working-class Brit-Gujarati experience.

Responding physically to audio interviews of women from his family speaking in Gujarati about inheritance, loss and the future, Mathroo Basha (Mother Tongue in Gujarati) delves into the emotional realities of generational change through personal movement explorations where his body becomes the conduit.

Performed in English and Gujarati.

This performance will be followed by a post show talk.

Mathroo Basha is part of Nottdance festival.
