Enjoy the unique “Noisy Mama” blend of Indian Jazz-Rock, solid Jazz-Funk and Rock grooves, a sophisticated combination of Indian and Western rhythms. Originally founded by award-winning German drummer and composer Carola Grey as a jazz/fusion group in New York, the new Noisy Mama now includes some of the most amazing Indian musicians.

Carola’s compositions evoke Indian ragas as well as Western melody and harmony, bound together by her distinctive style of writing, playing and singing. With input from her fantastic cast of musicians, the two worlds are combined seemingly without effort. Together, the band creates a special sound that leaves audiences spellbound in India and Europe alike.

After receiving the Munich Music Award and producing their highly acclaimed album “Road to Goa” (NMP 2012), the band performed their first big shows in India earlier this year. Witness the beginning of a band that just might blow the music world away!

SOPHIE SCHOLL – Die letzten Tage
Dir: Marc Rothemund | 2005 | 116 min.

in Cooperation with Madras Film Society

Film

Goethe-Institut Auditorium, 4 Rutland Gate 5 Street, Chennai

Spring 1943: Sophie and Hans Scholl are risking their lives working for the anti-Nazi resistance movement “Die weiβe Rose”. When they distribute leaflets against the National Socialist regime at Munich University, Sophie and her brother are arrested. The film adopts Sophie’s perspective to tell the story of her interrogations and imprisonment.

While working on the script, Rothemund and his team gained access to the protocol of Sophie Scholl’s interrogations. With this powerful new information, they were able to paint a picture of her impressive resolve and defiance in the face of mortal danger.
