Singapore Carnatic vocalist Sushma Soma brought more urgency to environmentally-conscious messaging with her performance titled Home SOS: Sounds of Sustainability on January 20. Where most Carnatic vocalists are expected to maintain a certain register, Soma subverted that with her raw, emotive vocals. The artistes took on a journey that involved intensely cathartic performances with choreography, a friendly and quick audience poll about waste segregation and an ice-breaking singalong segment that covered (and evoked) different moods in the space that was Bangalore Creative Circus. Soma hopes that even if 15 people in the audience were influenced enough to “adopt earth-friendly choices, it is a big step”.
