In 2003, Dr. Naif Al-Mutawa, a Kuwaiti psychologist, graduate of Columbia Business School and father of four young boys, had an idea: create a comic book series with roots in Islam and Islamic culture. Al-Mutawa came up with the concept of The 99: a team of superheroes, each one exemplifying one of the 99 attributes of Allah. Within the Islamic world, Al-Mutawa hoped these new role models would counter the growing tide of political and religious extremism. But when Al-Mutawa launches the comic series, he runs up against suspicion from Muslims and the harsh realities of the global marketplace.

According to journalist Robin Wright (Rock the Casbah: Rage and Rebellion Across the Islamic World), “the counter-Jihad will define the next decade as thoroughly as the extremists dominated the last one.” Media and arts are at the forefront of this revolution. Wright will be joined by poet and journalist Eliza Griswold (The Tenth Parallel), cultural ambassador Zeyba Rahman and artist Mohsin Din to discuss the shifting situation in the Muslim world, and the impact of arts and culture on change. Moderated by Rachel Cooper, Director of Performing Arts and Cultural Programs, Asia Society.

Our story takes place in the court (darbar) of the great patron king of Kathak, Wajid Ali Shah, who represents the decadence of courtly life. The king is so distracted by his indulgences that he does not notice that his general is being tempted by the British to betray him. Pandit Das’ new work brings to life the rich artistic and cultural legacy of the courts of North India exploring themes of power and corruption.
Kathak is the only Indian classical dance style with both Muslim and Hindu influences, as it was adpoted by the Mughals. Das has a direct lineage to the North Indian courts of yesteryear; his Guru taught the last remaining courtesans of the modern era.
