Darbar: India's Vanishing Voice (Film Screening + Talk)

This 40-minute Sky Arts documentary follows the Dagar family, whose unbroken lineage has preserved dhrupad — India’s oldest classical vocal tradition — across twenty generations. The film explores what it means to carry an art form that predates most modern nations, and what happens when that continuity is threatened by the pace of contemporary life.

After the screening, Ustad Wasifuddin Dagar joins producer Pinelli Benedetta and director Harriet Evans-Lombe for a panel discussion. A rare opportunity to hear directly from the family at the centre of the story.
