station
STATION is a new live performance installation piece written and performed by Hussina Raja, set inside a South Asian living room.
Shaped around the idea of a radio tuning between different "stations in life" – childhood, adolescence, pregnancy, motherhood, and the experience of being mothered – STATION combines text, live sound score, movement and installation to create an intimate domestic environment. Developed in collaboration with sound designer Fran Lobo and choreographer Vidya Patel, with dramaturgy from Kali’s Artistic Director Aisha Zia.
The work is rooted in interviews with mothers in Lewisham, developed through community collaboration with Lewisham Parent and Infant Relationship Service (PAIRS) and Lewisham and Greenwich Trust.
Station has been developed in collaboration with: Sound Designer - Fran Lobo
Fran Lobo is a British Indian singer, composer, and music producer. Her work spans composition, installation, performance and film. Her composition involves a playful and experimental approach to sound, often using audio collage and vocal layering to create hypnotically unsettling and intricate sound worlds
Vidya Patel is a UK-based dance artist and choreographer who creates and directs multidisciplinary performances, merging Indian classical dance, contemporary dance, and lived movement experience with text, visual arts, fashion and film. She explores identity, heritage and autobiographical narratives
STATION will have a research and development week at The Albany with a public work-in-progress performance in October and be part of the KALISTHENICS season in Spring 2027.
