Dash Cafe The Colour of Pomegranates

One of the greatest masterpieces of the 20th century, Sergei Parajanov's film reveals the poet's life depicting the poet's coming of age, discovery of the female form, falling in love, entering a monastery and dying, all framed through both Sergei Parajanov's imagination and Sayat Nova's poems. The film was illicitly smuggled out of the Soviet Union in 70s for its UK premiere at the ICA. As part of a post-show chat, we'll explore this story with some of the instigators at the time and Dash's Artistic Director Josephine Burton.
