The Song of Scorpions emerged as a dream, a nightmare actually. The horrific rape of a young woman on a bus in 2012 scarred my mind and my spirit, as it did of everyone else in India. I kept having the same nightmare for almost a year and, slowly, I started to feel that these images were telling me something about the violence of our times. My attempts to understand what my dream was telling me led me to this film.
It emerged as a fable of twisted love, revenge and redemption. It’s about what poisons us
and what can heal us. In the world we live in today, we breathe in poison with every breath we take the poison of bigoted politics, inhumanity and violence. In response, we can choose to breathe out into the universe the poison we carry within us. Or we can choose to breathe out a song. That’s a critical choice.
