Dastaan LIVE – Mat Ro Bachche – 360 video

~ WIP ~

This is our first effort with this video. There is a turning point that is now leading this project into the animation space. Mat Ro Bachhe is based on the poem “philistini bacche ke liye Lori” by Faiz Ahmad Faiz. The video is a 360 (VR) performance of the song.

Mr. Anurag Tagat wrote an article about this video. You can read it here

To say goodbye to a loved one everyday, knowing this may be the last time you see them?

What happens to the dreams, the hopes, the aspirations of millions of people that try to live their everyday lives in the face of an unrelenting, brutal and oppressive reality that was never of their choosing?

 

Dastaan LIVE is a art-rock project (co-founded by Anirban Ghosh and Sumant Balakrishnan) that brings together the world of the aural and the visual to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience for audiences. We constantly strive to discover new ways to make this project increasingly immersive for our audiences , creating spaces for dialogue and interpretations and compelling people above all, to think…
