This is a press review of Baluji Shrivastav’s performance, ‘Portraits of the Dark’ at Centrespace, the Central Library in Hounslow. The piece was written by Mark Trewin for Bazaar Magazine. The author analyses each of the different segments of the production, which aimed to portray the dramatic episodes of Baluji’s life and to convey to a sighted person what it feels like being a blind musician. Baluji was accompanied by six other musicians including Sarwar Sabri on tabla, Tristram Llewellyn on the synthesiser, Linda Shanson on western vocals, Sanyogita Kumari on Indian vocal, Jagdish Mistry on the violin and Clive Bell on the Indian flute.
