<p>Spend 10 seconds with Colton Underwood, and you get why “The Bachelor” figured he was a home run. He has a boy-next-door smile and an aw-shucks manner. He’s brawny. He hikes.</p>

<p><br />
But in April, in an emotional interview on “Good Morning America,” the former NFL linebacker, who made hearts flutter two years ago as the virginal leading man on ABC’s aggressively heterosexual hit dating franchise “The Bachelor,” said the no-going-back words “I’m gay.”</p>

<p><br />
Underwood, 29, brawls with contradictions. He’s a Christian who refuses to believe in the version of God he learned about as a Catholic altar boy. He loves football, but the locker room is where he felt most afraid to reveal his true self.</p>

<p><br />
Now he shops at Kohl’s and on Rodeo Drive. He has a boyfriend, and is also attracted to women, but is not bisexual. His Grindr tribes would probably be Clean-Cut and Rugged.</p>

<p><br />
So much identity straddling — that’s what brings Underwood back to reality television for “Coming Out Colton,” a new six-episode docu-series on Netflix that arrives Friday. The series, which started filming before his “Good Morning America” appearance, is a heartfelt but carefully packaged diary, in which Underwood reveals his sexual orientation to unsuspecting family members, friends and others, and gets a crash course in gay.</p>

<p><br />
Underwood hopes the show helps people see how coming out can be a gift. But he also wants to make amends for going on “The Bachelor” in a failed attempt, he said, to “bury being gay.” And to address troubles that arose in turn, including a restraining order filed against him by his ex-girlfriend and criticism that he’s cashing in on something he shouldn’t.</p>

<p><br />
“I’ve lived my life so publicly straight, and I ran from a community I’ve belonged to my entire life,” he said over breakfast at Hugo’s, a diner on Santa Monica Boulevard he picked. “I knew there was going to be a lot of people who didn’t understand. Maybe at the end of these six episodes, people still don’t understand. But at least I’ve tried to undo the wrongs.”</p>

<p><br />
Underwood gets an assist on the series from his friend Gus Kenworthy, a skier and Olympian who came out as gay in 2015. Compared to Underwood, Kenworthy is a gay sage: He teaches Underwood what cisgender means (“cis means that your gender that you identify with is the same as the gender you were assigned at birth,” he explains in one scene) and sits with Underwood for a history lesson at the Stonewall Inn.</p>

<p><br />
An executive producer on the series, Underwood knows he has privilege and a platform, which is why he said he sought counsel from people who aren’t white gay cisgender men, including Nicole Garcia, a transgender Latina pastor. In an email, Garcia said Underwood could be a role model, especially to let young athletes know they “can be male, athletic, gay and be successful, loved and respected.”</p>

<p><br />
This being reality TV, Underwood didn’t prepare the people he comes out to on camera — what we see, he said, is their genuine reaction to the news that he is gay. Initially, that didn’t sit well with his mother, Donna Burkard, the first person he comes out to on the show. (Underwood’s parents are divorced but on good terms.)</p>

<p><br />
Burkard said her son’s revelation was a surprise, and she was uneasy with the camera but resigned to it. Then her mama bear emerged.</p>

<p><br />
“We decided if we could help a single family, and hopefully multiple families, by showing the love and support that I believe I displayed, other gay men and women in hiding could see a flicker of hope that their parents are going to respond with open arms,” she said in a phone interview.</p>

<p><br />
Underwood’s biggest protector on the show is his father, Scott Underwood, who said he loves his son — “a strong person,” he called him for coming out on national television. But did he have to get the news while they fished?</p>

<p><br />
“I’m not saying I’m upset about it, but I would have preferred it had been done differently,” he said by phone. But his son is “an entertainer, let’s face it,” he continued. “That’s what he’s chosen to do for his career.”</p>

<p><br />
“Am I going to say it’s for fame?” he added, referring to his son’s decision to star in the series. “No. Did he come out on TV for money? Sure. But who in reality entertainment doesn’t leverage their life and put it all out there for money?”</p>

<p><br />
Check out Underwood’s recent Instagram post about the series, and it’s clear that a lot of people think his post-“Bachelor” controversies should disqualify him from a Netflix deal. (Many others disagree.)</p>

<p><br />
An online petition with more than 35,000 signatures as of late November asks Netflix to cancel the series because of stalking and harassment allegations that Underwood’s ex-girlfriend, Cassie Randolph, outlined in a restraining order she filed against him in September 2020. Randolph was the woman Underwood chose to marry on “The Bachelor,” but their season didn’t conclude, as most do, with their engagement.</p>

<p><br />
In November 2020, Randolph dropped the order, and the two reached a private agreement that prevents much from being said publicly. Underwood has apologized for his behavior.</p>

<p><br />
“It’s more sad than anything else that I was ever even in a position to say the things I said to her or do the things I did,” Underwood said. Randolph did not reply to requests for comment.</p>

<p><br />
Jeff Jenkins, an executive producer of “Coming Out Colton,” said a talent agent originally pitched the show to him as a reality series about Underwood and Randolph as a couple. When their relationship ended, Jenkins said, the show’s direction pivoted. Underwood met with him to explain that he was considering coming out.</p>

<p><br />
“We saw the positive of him sharing his story,” said Jenkins, an executive producer of “I Am Cait,” a series about Caitlyn Jenner’s life as a transgender woman, with which “Coming Out Colton” shares LGBTQ reality show DNA.</p>

<p><br />
Asked about Underwood’s motives, Jenkins said: “He already has fame and — not to speak out of turn — but this documentary is not going to make him rich.”</p>

<p><br />
Damla Dogan, Netflix’s director of unscripted series, wrote in an email that the streaming service trusted the producers to address Underwood’s “complicated story, which includes him taking accountability.” Asked how the show fits into Netflix’s strategy for queer programming, especially following the accusations of transphobia in Dave Chappelle’s most recent comedy special, “The Closer,” Dogan said, “It would be unfair to Colton to put the weight of all LGBTQ representation on his shoulders.”</p>

<p><br />
“One person’s experience will not fill the void of queer stories on TV,” Dogan wrote in an email. “We have to do better as an industry to highlight more kinds of lives and love.”</p>

<p><br />
Then there’s the timing. The series begins on Nov. 6, 2020, five months before Underwood revealed his sexuality on TV, which means he came out to his professional team before his family. To some, that appears more like a monetized career move than an unvarnished emotional reckoning.</p>

<p><br />
John Casey, the editor-at-large for The Advocate, wrote in an opinion column that Underwood “has failed women and the LGBTQ+ community by deriding our coming out process, particularly for those of us who took on great peril to be ourselves.”</p>

<p><br />
Attempts to reach Casey were unsuccessful. The LGBTQ advocacy organization GLAAD, which is thanked in the show’s credits, declined to comment.</p>

<p><br />
Underwood said his hand had been forced because, as he also told Variety, he got an anonymous email last year from someone who claimed to have nude photos of him at a spa known for a gay clientele. He admits he was there, but the photos never surfaced. The first person he ever came out to was his publicist.</p>

<p><br />
Underwood knew his family had to be next. Having cameras around, he said, captured the drama but also held him accountable. He said he found comfort thinking: “Today you’re about to come out to your dad and you cannot run.” (He came out to people in his life off-camera, too.)</p>

<p><br />
The only time Underwood looked antsy in our conversation was while talking about his boyfriend of several months, political strategist Jordan C. Brown. Underwood didn’t say much other than that he was “very happy and very in love” with Brown and that the two men’s families have met.</p>

<p><br />
“The easiest way for me to say it is that it was like me bringing a girl home,” Underwood said, blushing and sounding like someone who really is new to this whole gay thing. “Like, nobody batted an eye.”</p>

<p><br />
Underwood isn’t sure what comes next — maybe another gay TV project of some kind. His priority, he said, is doing something he has never been good at. “I have to take care of myself first,” he said.</p>

<p><br />
And that means social media, Christians, gay guys, Bachelor Nation, everybody else will have to wait.<br />
“If it does not make me happy and it does not fulfill me, I don’t want anything to do with it,” he said.</p>

Pete Davidson rings in 28th birthday with rumoured girlfriend Kim Kardashian

<p>Dance is both the central theme and a lens to inspect contemporary culture in “Kandis Williams: A Line,” the debut New York solo exhibition of the multimedia artist and the inaugural presentation of 52 Walker, the new space that the David Zwirner gallery has opened in Tribeca.</p>

<p><br />
Large-scale collages on grid-lined paper mingle archival photographs of dancers and choreographers — some recognizable to aficionados, such as Alvin Ailey, George Balanchine and Martha Graham — with photographs Williams made in her studio. There, she worked with three Black dancers versed in ballet and modern dance, exploring how they have learned within but also resisted the enduring racial and gender conventions of their training. Some of the collages are marked with annotations, the artist thinking out loud about affect, performance and politics.</p>

<p><br />
A video installation, presented on six squat old-school monitors, shows a dancer following lines on a studio floor, working through routines that Williams choreographed, as archival video flickers on a background screen within each screen. Tall plants set about the gallery appear to break the theme, but on close inspection, they are artificial, some leaves imprinted with eyes or colored in flesh tones, returning attention to the body.</p>

<p><br />
Williams, 36, grew up in Baltimore and lately has divided time between Berlin and Los Angeles, where she recently won the Hammer Museum’s $100,000 Mohn Award. She is an artist who draws connections; her first museum solo, recently at the Institute of Contemporary Art at Virginia Commonwealth University, explored migration, tobacco plantations, prison farms and tango. An inveterate researcher, she shares sources and intellectual inspirations in photocopied readers and zines she publishes through Cassandra Press, the imprint she co-founded. Later in the run, the exhibition will add a library area where visitors may browse or borrow pertinent texts.</p>

<p><br />
The exhibition keynotes an experimental, even exacting, program that curator Ebony Haynes has set for 52 Walker, a kunsthalle-like venue where shows will run for several months. We visited with Williams and Haynes to talk about dance history, the foregrounding of Black dancers in today’s popular culture, and Williams’ growing interest in choreography. The conversation has been condensed and edited.</p>

<p><br />
Siddhartha Mitter: Kandis, what drew you to examine dance so closely now?</p>

<p><br />
Williams: Dance is so reflective of social scripts and social impulses that we don’t feel that we have to name but that become wrapped in characters and fictions and passed along as mimetic educational tools for how we are supposed to interact.</p>

<p><br />
And we’re in a moment right now. Last year saw a proliferation of us, especially in Black communities worldwide, trying to disassociate and disidentify from caricature, state-sanctioned violence, social scripts that have been destructive to our community. And I don’t think it’s coincidental that we now see, in our art markets and commercial markets, a renewed interest in positioning Black bodies and dancers. Black TikTokers, for example, are pervasively appropriated.</p>

<p><br />
Siobhan Burke: We’re also seeing more Black ballet dancers in corporate advertising.</p>

<p><br />
Williams: The rush of diversity and inclusion campaigns has put performing Black bodies in places that have to negotiate racist performative expectations and anti-racist sentiments simultaneously. [Dance scholar] Brenda Dixon Gottschild says that the Black body keeps the measure of popular culture.</p>

<p><br />
Mitter: Your new collages have titles that abound with references to dance history and ideas. One includes the line “Between cult and theater lies the stage as a moral institution.”</p>

<p><br />
Williams: That’s a quote from Oskar Schlemmer, the theorist and propmaster of the Bauhaus theater. When he calls the stage a moral institution, it raises the question of how indebted our social structures are to the lines of the modern theater — and by extension media, which has become a stage. The scholar Katherine McKittrick demonstrates how much visual hierarchy goes back to the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and how as a result almost every unit of popular measure is some evidence of white supremacy, and thereby some level of erasure. Shakespeare says all the world’s a stage, but whose stage?</p>

<p><br />
Mitter: The collages include photographs you made of three dancers you worked with: Catherine Kirk, Damond Garner and Natasha Diamond-Walker. What did that interaction consist of?</p>

<p><br />
Williams: I brought them into the studio, and we talked through what forms and shapes their bodies fit, what techniques they’ve been versed in. I think it’s a common conversation in dance that maybe Black dancers and Black body types have certain phenotypic traits that deem them better suited to certain roles or positions. We thought through what their bodies have to go through, or feel, in certain attitudes or techniques.</p>

<p><br />
Mitter: So you’re thinking of the way they’ve been trained —</p>

<p><br />
Williams: And the accumulation of that training. When I’m directing, I’m sort of directing within that index of muscular and reflexive conditioning. But I’m also working with a person, a person who might hurt themselves in certain attitudes or techniques, or who might really enjoy the pain of certain positions.<br />
Burke: In the video installation, Natasha Diamond-Walker moves across a stage marked with lines. How did you generate the movement?</p>

<p><br />
Williams: Those are all very particular movements. Each, literally point A to point B, is a set of three movements that hit the center, turn into another movement and then finish at the end of the line. I’m using a host of vernacular dance movements: for example, take a part of the [Native American] Buffalo Dance, into a particular kind of jazz motif, into a tree pose. Relying on Natasha’s Martha Graham training, we built a choreography that was both concise and hybrid.</p>

<p><br />
Burke: You went into this show with the idea of creating a dance notation — a system of symbols for documenting movement — but ended up going in a different direction.</p>

<p><br />
Williams: The idea of a notation is such a fraught space. Because notation so often denies the interiority of the dancer — it flattens the entire experience to the dynamics of the stage. So what I’m kind of doing here is riding the two sides of that line: a notation that could maybe contemplate the dualism of the experience of being a performative Black body.</p>

<p><br />
I feel like with this show, I’ve crossed the stage. It’s going to be nice to do more choreographic and performance work.</p>

<p><br />
Mitter: Your projects involve extensive and time-consuming research. What are some of your sources for the dance work?</p>

<p><br />
Williams: I’m kind of married to this practice at this point, so it feels like good quality time. The Jerome Robbins Dance Division [of the New York Public Library] has been really great. The Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Archives of American Art — I’m trying to shout out my sources! Jacob’s Pillow has a really cool interactive dance website.</p>

<p><br />
Mitter: Ebony, how does “A Line” set the tone for the program you want to build?</p>

<p><br />
Haynes: As a director and curator, this is what you work for — to work with artists that you respect, and learn something along the way. Nothing’s tied up in a fine bow at the end; that’s not what I’m striving for. I’m trying to do something that hopefully affords more time to produce but also to be in the space. I want to invite people to come in, talk with me, sit with the work. You see it once, but maybe you come back and see it again.</p>

Relying on Natasha’s Martha Graham training, we built a choreography that was both concise and hybrid. Burke: You went into this show with the idea of creating a dance notation — a system of symbols for documenting movement — but ended up going in a different direction. Williams: The idea of a notation is such a fraught space. Because notation so often denies the interiority of the dancer — it flattens the entire experience to the dynamics of the stage. So what I’m kind of doing here is riding the two sides of that line: a notation that could maybe contemplate the dualism of the experience of being a performative Black body. I feel like with this show, I’ve crossed the stage. It’s going to be nice to do more choreographic and performance work. Mitter: Your projects involve extensive and time-consuming research. What are some of your sources for the dance work? Williams: I’m kind of married to this practice at this point, so it feels like good quality time. The Jerome Robbins Dance Division [of the New York Public Library] has been really great. The Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Archives of American Art — I’m trying to shout out my sources! Jacob’s Pillow has a really cool interactive dance website. Mitter: Ebony, how does “A Line” set the tone for the program you want to build? Haynes: As a director and curator, this is what you work for — to work with artists that you respect, and learn something along the way. Nothing’s tied up in a fine bow at the end; that’s not what I’m striving for. I’m trying to do something that hopefully affords more time to produce but also to be in the space. I want to invite people to come in, talk with me, sit with the work. You see it once, but maybe you come back and see it again.

Galleries have been moving to TriBeCa for a good five years, but the migration has finally hit critical mass. As everyone from tiny new project spaces to blue-chip titan David Zwirner floods in, this cast-iron and cobblestone neighborhood in Manhattan — south of Canal, north of Vesey and west of Broadway — is no longer just one option of many.

<p>Remember that thing W.C. Fields said about never working with children and animals, lest they steal the show? Jack Whitehall isn’t worried, even if that animal is so massive that its size alone fills up the screen.</p>

<p><br />
In “Clifford the Big Red Dog,” Whitehall plays the irresponsible Uncle Casey of Emily Elizabeth (Darby Camp), a bullied sixth grader who pours her love into a bright red puppy, causing it to grow in proportion to the size of her heart. This meant that Whitehall found himself emoting opposite a 10-foot animatronic canine operated by two puppeteers — sometimes inside the dog, sometimes just holding up its rather disconcertingly dismembered head.</p>

<p><br />
A challenge, sure, but he’d had some experience. Whitehall shot “Clifford” (in theaters and on Paramount+ on Nov. 10) shortly after wrapping Disney’s “Jungle Cruise,” where one of his scene partners was a stunt person on all fours in a spotted leotard standing in for Proxima the jaguar.</p>

<p><br />
“I feel like now I’m probably the go-to guy if you want someone to act opposite a CGI animal,” he said. In a call from London, Whitehall shared the things he enjoys when not wrangling a menagerie — a bespoke suit, a meal at the Wolseley — and why when he’s home, he reminds himself to look up. These are edited excerpts from the conversation.</p>

<p><br />
1. The BBC. The joy and the beauty of the BBC is that it provides this incredible service for so many different people. It has something for everyone. It’s such an incredible institution, and it’s always under attack as well, which makes me even more kind of virulent in my defense of it. And it’s got the best news output of any platform in the world. Especially when I come to America, I realize how much I cherish the ability to have this impartial news.</p>

<p><br />
2. Glastonbury Festival. It’s one of my favorite places on the planet. I think it’s the seminal festival experience, and I love that it doesn’t feel that commercial or cynical. There’s a great charitable element running through it. I will always endeavor, no matter where I am in the world, to get back for Glastonbury. Even when I was filming “Clifford,” I managed to somehow wangle my way into getting onto a flight and going back for three days of Glastonbury, and I was just floating. I was ecstatic before, during and after.<br />
3. Bob Newhart’s The Driving Instructor.” This was a recording that my dad played for me when I was younger. It’s so funny, and it also has an added resonance for me because I can’t drive and have had several driving instructors who I think have been pushed into a similar predicament as Bob Newhart’s character in that comedy sketch.</p>

<p><br />
4. Looking up in London. That was a piece of advice I think in an interview I’d seen with Donald Sinden, the actor. He said that when walking through London, people never look up. London has this incredible architecture, but people are always looking down, looking at each other, looking at shop fronts. The thing about London is that you can have a launderette and then look above it, and it’s got this beautiful Regency architecture. But you’ve never really noticed it because we all live our lives at eye level.</p>

<p><br />
5. A Thom Sweeney tailored suit. I love Savile Row. I love wearing a well-cut suit, and I love the kind of fine tailoring that they do exquisitely well. I love going into one of their stores and getting a drink plenty strong in a short glass. Then there’s the sort of theater of it all — and having the suit fitted, and going back in a couple of times and discussing it, taking out the fabrics. I just love the whole ritual of it.</p>

<p><br />
6. Alan Bennett plays. The first time I ever performed comedy onstage was when I put on my own production of “Habeas Corpus” at school with all of my friends. But “The History Boys” is probably the play that I’ve seen the most times. I remember the first time that I watched it — being utterly captivated and amazed that this was an experience that you could have in a theater. Richard Griffiths (who played Douglas Hector, the teacher) was a very important part of my life. He was my godfather. He was my hero. He was part of the reason I ended up becoming a performer.</p>

<p><br />
7. The film scores of John Williams. I have this weird thing where I work out to film scores. When I go to the gym or go for a jog, I find myself slightly tailoring my workouts to the various songs that I’m listening to: speeding up in rhythm to the music from “Jurassic Park” and maybe slightly aping the gait of a dinosaur; getting overexcited when “E.T.” comes on and wanting to lift off as the music crescendos; and then suddenly “Schindler’s List” comes on, and I feel like I need to slow down as a sign of deference.</p>

<p><br />
8. Corbin &amp;amp; King restaurants. Jeremy King and Chris Corbin are like the doyens of the industry in London when it comes to restaurateurs. They started up the legendary Ivy and the Caprice, and then sold those. Then they’ve had this second generation — the Wolseley, the Delaunay and the Colbert — and they’re fantastic. The cuisine in our country has been a little maligned over the years, but I think they are the bench mark of hospitality. The Wolseley is the restaurant that I could eat in for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the rest of my life and be content.</p>

<p><br />
9. Off Menu podcast. It’s such a brilliant premise. It’s these two fantastic comedians, James Acaster and Ed Gamble, walking through a different guest each week and their dream menu. It has such great, beautiful, eccentric British humor. I love food. I love eating out. I obsess about my dream menu quite a lot. And so it’s such a good podcast to me because I get to hear other people do just that.</p>

<p><br />
10. Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It’s where I first saw live stand-up and fell in love with it and realized that that was something that you could do for a living. I went up there every August for several years, and whenever it’s August, I always have this pang of regret that I’m not at the festival. Every comedian I love started there — John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson, Richard Curtis. The only problem is, whenever you go back to Edinburgh and it’s not the festival, it’s never quite as exciting.</p>

Inside Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker's dream-like engagement

<p>Much of what happens in “The Lehman Trilogy” is invisible, which is not the way prestige drama usually works onstage.</p>

<p><br />
Directed by Sam Mendes, this British import, which reaches across 164 years of American history to trace the family saga behind the fallen financial powerhouse Lehman Brothers, was a scalding-hot ticket during a brief pre-pandemic run at the Park Avenue Armory. Yet it offers almost nothing in the way of spectacle and only the slightest of costume changes: a top hat here, a pair of glasses there.</p>

<p><br />
In the captivating production that opened Thursday night at the Nederlander Theater, it relies largely on an unspoken agreement between actors and audience — to imagine together and let fancy crowd out fact.</p>

<p><br />
Sort of the way that heedless investors looked right past all warning signs in the faith-based run-up to the stock market crash of 2008. Illusion is illusion, after all, and financial markets, like the theater, require a certain suspension of disbelief — although when the fantasy bursts in theater, the fallout is less ruinous. When investors halted their collective game of make-believe 13 years ago, mammoth financial firms like Lehman Brothers met their swift demise, and the world’s markets suffered the aftershocks.</p>

<p><br />
“The Lehman Trilogy,” though, is not actually a number-crunching play; reports that Jeff Bezos took in a recent performance should not cause you to infer otherwise.</p>

<p><br />
Written by Stefano Massini and adapted by Ben Power, it is a vividly human tale, nimbly performed by three of the finest actors around: Simon Russell Beale, Adam Godley and Adrian Lester, who, in making his Broadway debut, has replaced the original cast’s Ben Miles. (I did not catch Beale, Godley and Miles at the Armory; it was too scarce a ticket, and too pricey.)</p>

<p><br />
Slipping in and out of myriad roles, the actors spend the bulk of their time narrating, standing outside their characters. We, in turn, spend most of our time envisioning the fleet-footed story they conjure with words over three-plus hours (including two intermissions) that feel nowhere near that long.</p>

<p><br />
Our eyes track these witchy actors as they move through Es Devlin’s revolving glass-and-metal office set, while our minds persuade us that the story is unfolding in a succession of disparate spaces that resemble it not at all.</p>

<p><br />
A peculiarly gentle interrogation of the American dream’s descent into many-tentacled nightmare, “The Lehman Trilogy” begins as so many stories of this nation do: with an intrepid immigrant’s arrival. A young man from Bavaria stands before us, suitcase in hand, freshly landed in New York Harbor and certain he is worldly after 45 days at sea.</p>

<p><br />
The year is 1844, he is Heyum Lehmann, and in a moment we will see him reborn as Henry Lehman — his Ellis Island moniker bestowed by a port official too obtuse to comprehend the newcomer’s real name.</p>

<p><br />
On first impression, Henry (Beale) is darling, funny and utterly sympathetic. When his younger brothers, Emanuel (Lester) and Mayer (Godley), follow him across the ocean, we feel a similar warmth toward them.</p>

<p><br />
This is where the mechanics of the play, with these deft and lovely actors breathing such life into the brothers, coax us into an ease at odds with moral logic as we watch their genteelly brutal acquisition and stockpiling of wealth.</p>

<p><br />
The brothers settle in antebellum Alabama, where even the earliest iteration of the family firm, a shop selling fabrics and clothing, relies on a local economy built on slavery. As the Lehmans grow more ambitious, they start buying and selling cotton from the plantations, making their first fortune on it.</p>

<p><br />
Seldom do we hear a voice of conscience — like the local physician who tells a dispirited Mayer, in the aftermath of the Civil War, that the collapse of the South’s economy should not have come as a surprise.</p>

<p><br />
“Everything that was built here was built on a crime,” the doctor says. “The roots run so deep you cannot see them, but the ground beneath our feet is poisoned. It had to end this way.”<br />
That is, of course, a warning that the pattern of reckless profit and resulting pain will repeat: in the 1929 crash, which Lehman Brothers managed to survive by morphing yet again, and in the 2008 crash, which it didn’t. It is also a signal that the founders of the firm — whose deaths, when they come, are meant to move us, and do — were not the ethical betters of their more vulgar descendants.</p>

<p><br />
With a subdued, filmic score by Nick Powell, played live by Candida Caldicot on an upright piano, “The Lehman Trilogy” is structured in three parts. It follows Emanuel and Mayer to New York, and their family through successive generations, whose principals we first meet in childhood.</p>

<p><br />
So here is Emanuel’s son Philip (Beale), a future shark, as a gape-mouthed tot prodded to parade his smarts for guests. Here is Philip’s son Bobby (Godley) as a buoyant 10-year-old, whose father mercilessly dismantles the boy’s love for horses as creatures rather than commodities.</p>

<p><br />
And most enchantingly, here is Mayer’s son Herbert (Lester), a future governor and senator, as a thumb-sucking 3-year-old playing with his father’s beard, and later as a fair-minded 9-year-old at Hebrew school, objecting to the divine massacre of the innocent children of Egypt.</p>

<p><br />
No matter how horrid some of the Lehmans become (not Herbert, though; never Herbert), knowing them young cushions our feelings toward them later. That’s human nature. What’s unsettling is which people in this saga of capitalism we see portrayed, which people the play helps us to imagine clearly and which people we are asked to imagine vaguely or not at all. Proximity shapes our sympathies.</p>

<p><br />
“The Lehman Trilogy” exists because of the cascading financial disaster that extinguished Lehman Brothers in 2008, yet its perspective is very much from the top of that deluge. Any harm bucketing down below is at best an abstraction, just as it is in 1929, when the play shows us suicides of despairing stockbrokers but none of the pain radiating through lower social strata. And slavery, the founder of the family’s feast, is kept in soft focus, off to the side.</p>

Much of what happens in “The Lehman Trilogy” is invisible, which is not the way prestige drama usually works onstage. Directed by Sam Mendes, this British import, which reaches across 164 years of American history to trace the family saga behind the fallen financial powerhouse Lehman Brothers, was a scalding-hot ticket during a brief pre-pandemic run at the Park Avenue Armory.

Much of what happens in “The Lehman Trilogy” is invisible, which is not the way prestige drama usually works onstage. Directed by Sam Mendes, this British import, which reaches across 164 years of American history to trace the family saga behind the fallen financial powerhouse Lehman Brothers, was a scalding-hot ticket during a brief pre-pandemic run at the Park Avenue Armory. Yet it offers almost nothing in the way of spectacle and only the slightest of costume changes: a top hat here, a pair of glasses there. In the captivating production that opened Thursday night at the Nederlander Theater, it relies largely on an unspoken agreement between actors and audience — to imagine together and let fancy crowd out fact. Sort of the way that heedless investors looked right past all warning signs in the faith-based run-up to the stock market crash of 2008. Illusion is illusion, after all, and financial markets, like the theater, require a certain suspension of disbelief — although when the fantasy bursts in theater, the fallout is less ruinous. When investors halted their collective game of make-believe 13 years ago, mammoth financial firms like Lehman Brothers met their swift demise, and the world’s markets suffered the aftershocks. “The Lehman Trilogy,” though, is not actually a number-crunching play; reports that Jeff Bezos took in a recent performance should not cause you to infer otherwise. Written by Stefano Massini and adapted by Ben Power, it is a vividly human tale, nimbly performed by three of the finest actors around: Simon Russell Beale, Adam Godley and Adrian Lester, who, in making his Broadway debut, has replaced the original cast’s Ben Miles. (I did not catch Beale, Godley and Miles at the Armory; it was too scarce a ticket, and too pricey.) Slipping in and out of myriad roles, the actors spend the bulk of their time narrating, standing outside their characters. We, in turn, spend most of our time envisioning the fleet-footed story they conjure with words over three-plus hours (including two intermissions) that feel nowhere near that long. Our eyes track these witchy actors as they move through Es Devlin’s revolving glass-and-metal office set, while our minds persuade us that the story is unfolding in a succession of disparate spaces that resemble it not at all. A peculiarly gentle interrogation of the American dream’s descent into many-tentacled nightmare, “The Lehman Trilogy” begins as so many stories of this nation do: with an intrepid immigrant’s arrival. A young man from Bavaria stands before us, suitcase in hand, freshly landed in New York Harbor and certain he is worldly after 45 days at sea. The year is 1844, he is Heyum Lehmann, and in a moment we will see him reborn as Henry Lehman — his Ellis Island moniker bestowed by a port official too obtuse to comprehend the newcomer’s real name. On first impression, Henry (Beale) is darling, funny and utterly sympathetic. When his younger brothers, Emanuel (Lester) and Mayer (Godley), follow him across the ocean, we feel a similar warmth toward them. This is where the mechanics of the play, with these deft and lovely actors breathing such life into the brothers, coax us into an ease at odds with moral logic as we watch their genteelly brutal acquisition and stockpiling of wealth. The brothers settle in antebellum Alabama, where even the earliest iteration of the family firm, a shop selling fabrics and clothing, relies on a local economy built on slavery. As the Lehmans grow more ambitious, they start buying and selling cotton from the plantations, making their first fortune on it. Seldom do we hear a voice of conscience — like the local physician who tells a dispirited Mayer, in the aftermath of the Civil War, that the collapse of the South’s economy should not have come as a surprise. “Everything that was built here was built on a crime,” the doctor says. “The roots run so deep you cannot see them, but the ground beneath our feet is poisoned. It had to end this way.” That is, of course, a warning that the pattern of reckless profit and resulting pain will repeat: in the 1929 crash, which Lehman Brothers managed to survive by morphing yet again, and in the 2008 crash, which it didn’t. It is also a signal that the founders of the firm — whose deaths, when they come, are meant to move us, and do — were not the ethical betters of their more vulgar descendants. With a subdued, filmic score by Nick Powell, played live by Candida Caldicot on an upright piano, “The Lehman Trilogy” is structured in three parts. It follows Emanuel and Mayer to New York, and their family through successive generations, whose principals we first meet in childhood. So here is Emanuel’s son Philip (Beale), a future shark, as a gape-mouthed tot prodded to parade his smarts for guests. Here is Philip’s son Bobby (Godley) as a buoyant 10-year-old, whose father mercilessly dismantles the boy’s love for horses as creatures rather than commodities.

Review: In ‘The Lehman Trilogy,’ a vivid tale of profit and pain

<p>The Irish novelist Sally Rooney said on Tuesday that she would not allow the Israeli publishing house that handled her previous novels to publish her most recent book, “Beautiful World, Where Are You,” because of her support for Palestinian people and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.</p>

<p><br />
In an email, Rooney said that she was proud to have her first two books, “Normal People” and “Conversations With Friends,” published in Hebrew. “Likewise, it would be an honor for me to have my latest novel translated into Hebrew and available to Hebrew-language readers,” she said. “But for the moment, I have chosen not to sell these translation rights to an Israeli-based publishing house.”</p>

<p><br />
She added that she knew some would disagree with her decision, “but I simply do not feel it would be right for me under the present circumstances to accept a new contract with an Israeli company that does not publicly distance itself from apartheid and support the U.N.-stipulated rights of the Palestinian people.”</p>

<p><br />
Her Israeli publisher, Modan Publishing House, said in an email that when it inquired about “Beautiful World, Where Are You,” which was published in English in September, it was told that she wasn’t interested in publishing it in Israel. It said it was not given an explanation.</p>

<p><br />
In her email, Rooney cited a report published this year by Human Rights Watch that said the actions of the Israeli government meet the legal definition of apartheid, and she expressed her support for the BDS movement, which aims to harness international political and economic pressure on Israel. Supporters say the goal of the BDS movement is to end the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, while critics, including many Israelis, say its real aim is the end of Israel as a Jewish state. Rooney’s decision was previously reported by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.</p>

<p><br />
Rooney is not the first prominent author to decline an offer to publish in Israel. Alice Walker said in 2012 that she would not allow a Hebrew translation of her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “The Color Purple.” Walker, who was born in Georgia in 1944, said at the time, “I grew up under American apartheid and this,” she added of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, “was far worse.”</p>

<p><br />
Deborah Harris, a literary agent whose company handles major authors looking to be translated and published in Israel, described Rooney’s decision as painful and counterproductive.</p>

<p><br />
“When it’s ice cream or when it’s cement, or whatever else it is, it’s one thing, but when it comes to culture, I just have a very, very hard time seeing how this can be productive in changing anything,” Harris said. “What literature is supposed to do is reach into the hearts and minds of people. ”</p>

<p><br />
Those likely to read Rooney’s work in Israel, Harris added, are not those who support the policies to which she likely objects. “Her audience here are people who are in total support of a Palestinian state,” Harris said.</p>

<p><br />
Rooney’s books have been successful both critically and commercially. Her second novel, “Normal People,” was longlisted for the Booker Prize and made into a television series by BBC Three and Hulu, for which Rooney was nominated for an Emmy. A TV series based on “Conversations With Friends” is expected to be released next year.</p>

<p><br />
All this has come to Rooney quickly. The author, 30, is sometimes described as more famous than the books she’s written, or as the first great millennial novelist.</p>

<p><br />
“Beautiful World, Where Are You” follows the friendship of two young women, Eileen, an editorial assistant at a literary magazine, and Alice, a novelist whose career raced into fame and success, much in the way that Rooney’s did. The book has been on the New York Times bestseller list for hardcover fiction for four weeks.</p>

<p><br />
In her statement, Rooney said that in making this decision not to publish again with Modan, she was “responding to the call from Palestinian civil society,” and she expressed solidarity with Palestinian people “in their struggle for freedom, justice and equality.”</p>

<p><br />
She added that the Hebrew-language translation rights to the novel are still available, and that if she can find a way to sell them and adhere to the BDS movement’s guidelines, “I will be very pleased and proud to do so.”</p>

<p>Dogs are not just good at taking commands but can also grasp human language, reveals a recent study.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Giving us an advanced understanding of how dogs' memories work, a recent study on six 'genius dogs' shows that this highly likeable animals has a 'remarkable' grasp of the human language.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Reportedly, Hungarian researchers spent over two years scouting for dogs around the globe who could recognise the names of their various toys. Although most can learn commands to an extent, memorising the names of items seemed like a difficult task, with most dogs failing to acquire that skill.</p>

<p><br />
Six 'genius dogs'--Max (Hungary), Gaia (Brazil), Nalani (Netherlands), Squall (US), Whisky (Norway), and Rico (Spain)--cleared the test of proving they knew the names of more than 28 toys, with some even remembering more than 100.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For the Genius Dog Challenge, these six dogs were enlisted to participate in a series of livestreamed experiments.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"These gifted dogs can learn new names of toys in a remarkable speed. In our previous study we found that they could learn a new toy name after hearing it only four times. But, with such short exposure, they did not form a long-term memory of it," said Dr Claudia Fugazza at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, lead researcher.&nbsp;</p>

<p>To push their limits, the owners of these dogs were made to teach them six, and then 12, names of toys in a single week.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It turned out that, for these talented dogs, this was not much of a challenge. They easily learned between 11 to 12 toys," said Dr. Shany Dror, who is also from the same university as Dr. Claudia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After the obligatory hiatus last year, the World's 50 Best Restaurant Awards is back with its list of winners.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
This year, the top spot has gone to Noma by Danish chef René Redzepi. This three-Michelin star restaurant first opened in Copenhagen's Christianshavn area back in 2003 and first took the top slot in the World's 50 Best Restaurants awards in the 2010.</p>

<p><br />
Redzepi talked about his first big win 11 years ago while accepting this year's mega prize. &nbsp;"In the wake of this victory, all dreams were seemingly open. It also gave us a chance to be a part -- one part -- of a transformation of an entire region's food culture."</p>

<p><br />
"If the pandemic has taught us anything, it's how fragile our dreams can be, how incredibly grueling and difficult this industry can be," he said about the hardships he had faced in his field.</p>

After the obligatory hiatus last year, the World's 50 Best Restaurant Awards is back with its list of winners. This year, the top spot has gone to Noma by Danish chef René Redzepi. This three-Michelin star restaurant first opened in Copenhagen's Christianshavn area back in 2003 and first took the top slot in the World's 50 Best Restaurants awards in the 2010. Also read: Box Office: Neither Daniel Craig's Not Time To Die nor Tom Hardy's Venom 2, this film is ruling this weekend! Redzepi talked about his first big win 11 years ago while accepting this year's mega prize. "In the wake of this victory, all dreams were seemingly open. It also gave us a chance to be a part -- one part -- of a transformation of an entire region's food culture." "If the pandemic has taught us anything, it's how fragile our dreams can be, how incredibly grueling and difficult this industry can be," he said about the hardships he had faced in his field.

A move that prevented New York's Eleven Madison Park, The Fat Duck near London, Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy, and the 2019 winner, Mirazur in Menton, France. However, these fine-dining giants are put under a separate list: 'Best of the Best'.

Gradually I started making videos to pass my time in between shoots and then in the lockdown I started stitching clothes and that got me recognition. Then, Big Boss happened. I didn't take time to say yes to Bigg Boss. I had seen Bigg Boss since childhood and I was excited to be a part of it.

Urfi Javed: Content creation gave me a lot of learning on acting

<p>Passion and the need to reinvent himself is what drives MOJ content creator Himanshu Srivastav. When he is not dancing, he is observing life and writing poems about it. In his recent interview, the winner of Super Star Hunt--a content creation competition--spoke about his desire to experiment with all things creative and the tricks to gaining more followers. Read on!</p>

<p><br />
<strong>How did you get into &nbsp;content creation? What inspired you to choose a short-video app over other platforms?</strong></p>

<p><br />
I still remember when I did a dance performance on stage for the first time, after my performance I noticed a different enthusiasm in the public, there was a different kind of happiness on their faces. That day I felt as if I had shared happiness among people through my dance. This inspired me. And on that day the artist in me was born. In the world of entertainment, the artist makes you laugh and makes you cry, he/ she plays many characters in the same life. And through his/ her art, teaches people a lot and does all that we probably cannot do in our real life. Seeing all this, the entertainment world started motivating me a lot. I chose to become a content creator because sometimes I also like to write poetry and stories. And what I see in my real life, what I hear, I try to translate everything into my poetry and stories so that people can relate more to it. Whether it is writing a poem or choreographing a dance - be it acting or editing, I love to experiment and create new things. I try to do all these experiments so that I can make myself a better content creator.</p>

<p><strong>What was it like winning the Super Star Hunt?</strong></p>

<p><br />
This is my first success after winning the Moj Superstar Hunt and I am seeing myself in social media and in the news. Today people recognise me and my family. My idol and inspiration is Remo D'Souza sir. I have learned a lot by reading about his life and watching him. Infact, not only me but every dancer is motivated by his life journey. I was very happy when I got to know that he is going to judge the Moj Superstar Hunt and when I reached the final, I performed on his song Vande Mataram and he commented on my dance and gave me 10 points. This moment was the most beautiful moment of my life.</p>

<p><br />
<strong>What are your future plans?</strong></p>

<p><br />
My dream is to become a very good actor and dancer one day. And in my a small village, I want to help the talented people to make sure they get a platform. I want to do this for my Garatganj and encourage people to support every talent tomorrow whether it is boy or girl. I want to change society’s thinking regarding dance, especially in small places in the villages.</p>

<p><br />
<strong>Do you think aspiring artists can find their way to success by showcasing their talent on content-curation platforms? If yes, then what tips would you give them to increase their following and to get noticed?</strong></p>

<p><br />
So I would like to tell my followers that you have 15 to 30 seconds to prove yourself. 15 to 30 seconds is very little to hear but you work so hard for that 15 to 30 seconds that you can reach people's hearts. I believe that my efforts are my biggest hope. So you guys also keep doing new experiments, keep trying new things and don't think about the result. If you work hard with your heart, then the result will definitely be good. If you want to be popular then you have to make a place in people's heart and a place is always made by hard work. The more experiments you do, the more new you try, the better you will get. Just believe in hard work and try to give your hundred percent.</p>

And through his/ her art, teaches people a lot and does all that we probably cannot do in our real life. Seeing all this, the entertainment world started motivating me a lot. I chose to become a content creator because sometimes I also like to write poetry and stories. And what I see in my real life, what I hear, I try to translate everything into my poetry and stories so that people can relate more to it. Whether it is writing a poem or choreographing a dance - be it acting or editing, I love to experiment and create new things. I try to do all these experiments so that I can make myself a better content creator. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Himanshu Shrivastav (@himanshu.shrivastav01) × What was it like winning the Super Star Hunt? This is my first success after winning the Moj Superstar Hunt and I am seeing myself in social media and in the news. Today people recognise me and my family. My idol and inspiration is Remo D'Souza sir. I have learned a lot by reading about his life and watching him. Infact, not only me but every dancer is motivated by his life journey. I was very happy when I got to know that he is going to judge the Moj Superstar Hunt and when I reached the final, I performed on his song Vande Mataram and he commented on my dance and gave me 10 points. This moment was the most beautiful moment of my life. What are your future plans? My dream is to become a very good actor and dancer one day. And in my a small village, I want to help the talented people to make sure they get a platform. I want to do this for my Garatganj and encourage people to support every talent tomorrow whether it is boy or girl. I want to change society’s thinking regarding dance, especially in small places in the villages. Do you think aspiring artists can find their way to success by showcasing their talent on content-curation platforms? If yes, then what tips would you give them to increase their following and to get noticed? So I would like to tell my followers that you have 15 to 30 seconds to prove yourself. 15 to 30 seconds is very little to hear but you work so hard for that 15 to 30 seconds that you can reach people's hearts. I believe that my efforts are my biggest hope. So you guys also keep doing new experiments, keep trying new things and don't think about the result. If you work hard with your heart, then the result will definitely be good. If you want to be popular then you have to make a place in people's heart and a place is always made by hard work. The more experiments you do, the more new you try, the better you will get. Just believe in hard work and try to give your hundred percent.

Himanshu Srivastav: I experiment with dance and poetry to be a better content creator

<p>Indian legendary comedian-actor Johny Lever's daughter, Jamie Lever, is a social media star now and her funny, spot-on content has made her viral. Yet again!</p>

<p><br />
Her latest Instagram reel has caught people's attention as she mimicks Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor in it. To make the act look real, Jamie wore sindoor (vermilion) and Sonam-like statement jewelry, and completed the look with a low tight bun.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Over the years, studies have suggested that people who consume coffee have a lower risk of experiencing severe health hazards.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
So, in order to celebrate International Coffee Day, let's take a look at the health benefits coffee can provide:</p>

<p><br />
<strong>ENHANCED ENERGY LEVELS AND MAKE ONE SMARTER</strong></p>

<p><br />
As we all know, coffee contains the stimulant caffeine which also happens to be the most consumed psychoactive substance in the world. When caffeine reaches your brain, neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and dopamine increase, which ultimately lead to enhanced firing of neurons. Controlled study on humans have shown coffee intake boosts mood and memory, too.</p>

<p><br />
<strong>HELP BURN THOSE CALORIES</strong></p>

<p><br />
Studies have shown that caffeine has fat-burning properties and can enhance your metabolic rate by 3-11 per cent. Other studies have claimed that caffeine can increase fat-burning by 10 per cent amongst the obese population and by 29 per cent among thin people.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
<strong>IMPROVES PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE</strong></p>

<p><br />
Coffee increases epinephrine (adrenaline) levels in our blood, which is the fight-or-flight hormone and prepares the body for physical exertion. Thus, improving one's physical&nbsp;performance by 11-12 per cent.</p>

<p><br />
<strong>HOME TO NUTRIENTS</strong></p>

<p><br />
Caffeine is home to various nutrients, such as Riboflavin, Pantothenic acid, Manganese and potassium and Magnesium and niacin. Although they are present in small amounts, it still matters when a person consumes more than one cup of coffee a day and the number shoots up.</p>

<p><br />
<strong>HELPS KEEP TYPE 2 DIABETES AT BAY</strong></p>

<p><br />
Studies have shown that those who drink coffee, are at a significantly lower risk of getting Type 2 diabetes. As per a mega review of 18 studies involving 457,900 people (approx.) , each daily cup of coffee was associated with a 7% reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.&nbsp;<br />

Prather’s win will also go down in history as the first Black winner&nbsp;of Big Brother US.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
"It’s historic, it’s groundbreaking. I hope I am able to not only make the Black community proud, but be someone little Black boys and girls can look up to and say, ‘if he can do it, so can I'" he was reportedly quoted as saying by an American news channel.</p>

<p>"We not only made history by ensuring Big Brother would crown its first Black winner, but we made history by being the only alliance of six to make it to the final six. I think that speaks to how well we played the game," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
"It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I was the winner, but I owe everything in my win to those five other people. They’re amazing people, and I couldn’t pick a better group of people to play this game," added the winner.</p>

<p><br />
Prather revealed that he will be using his prize money to set up a college fund for his nephew, who lost his father recently. He will also be paying off his own student-loan debt and help out friends and family in need.&nbsp;</p>

Interestingly, the 'Perfect' singer, in a recent interview, had expressed his desire of giving up music for becoming a full-time dad. "In my year off, I was kind of searching for who I was because I stopped playing music for a bit. And music is entirely me as a person. And then I had my daughter — well, my wife had our daughter, but I’m a parent. And then I was like, that’s it, this is me. I’m just going to be a dad, I’m not going to play music anymore.’ I think it’s more important for my daughter to grow up knowing that her parents love creating and enjoy their jobs, and seeing that rather than like looking at your dad as technically unemployed," the Grammy winner had reportedly said.

Ana Navarro, 'The View' co-host, took to Instagram on Saturday to let her followers know that she has taken three Covid-19 tests and that they have all come negative. On Friday, Navarro and Sunny Hostin had tested positive while on air on for 'The View'. Both of them had tested positive for the virus, which was a massive blow to their then upcoming interview with Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris. Also read: Remembering Christopher Reeve: That one time he called Superman a 'risk' Navarro has now claimed that the results she was given on Friday was "false positive." "Obviously what happened yesterday was a false positive, a very public, a very inopportune, a very melodramatic false positive. But fortunately we now tested three times. All three have been negative," she said in her Instagram clip.

Ana Navarro, The View co-host, tests 'false positive' for Covid-9 while on air

<p>If you have a phone or a television set or both, then your day sure doesn't start until&nbsp;you listen to Yohani Diloka De Silva's--who only goes by Yohani, socially--'Manike Mage Hithe'. The song, in Sinhala language, has been trending globally and even Bollywood superstars Amitabh Bachchan, Tiger Shroff, Madhuri Dixit Nene and Priyanka Chopra Jonas have been humming the soothing tune.</p>

<p>Now, in an exclusive chat with WION, Yohani, who is prepping for her India tour, says that the numbers her single's amassed in the past few months has left her more than just overwhelmed. "It feels unreal," she shares.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Yohani would like to work with A.R.Rahman, Sonu Nigam, among others, in Bollywood" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a62dcd87-845f-446c-b7e9-991ee5123bbc" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20-%202021-09-25T141448.282_0.jpg" /></p>

<p>Excerpts from our conversation with her:</p>

<p><strong>WION: Your number ‘Manike Mage Hithe’ is practically everywhere, and there are very few artists who have enjoyed this kind of fan following amongst Bollywood stars. The pressure of outdoing yourself could very well leave you feeling overwhelmed. Your thoughts and coping mechanisms?</strong></p>

<p><strong>YOHANI:</strong> It’s been a crazy experience. Saying it’s overwhelming would be an understatement. I’m quite humbled by all the love and support. It still feels unreal. My teams--Pettah Effect and Theewra Worldwide--have been with me from day one and they take a lot of the pressure off my shoulders. They look into all the collaborations, tours, brand works etc. I get to spend time with the band and prepare for the tour. I enjoy the process and look forward to performing live for as many people as possible.</p>

<p><strong>WION: You are probably one of the first international artists to come to India since the pandemic. What was the reaction of your family when you told them about your tour?</strong></p>

<p><strong>YOHANI: </strong>My parents are very supportive. They are confident that my team is taking care of all necessary security and safety measures. My parents are not from a music background to help me with music, but they want to get involved in pitching wardrobe ideas, song ideas, etc. I’m still their kid daughter and I love how they still spoil me. &nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: The song is filled with love and passion. What’s your take on relationships in this age of hook-ups and speed dating?</strong></p>

<p><strong>YOHANI:</strong> This is a very difficult question and this is only my opinion: I believe love is not something that you find, instead it’s something you work on. It’s like writing a song. There are collaborations, different instruments, a language, different voices etc. and everyone has to work on it. Relationships are a result of this working bond.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I don’t see anything wrong with speed dating or hook-ups. It’s all human experiences and if the individuals who are doing this are content, it’s up to them. We shouldn’t have a box for everyone to fit in.&nbsp;</p>

If you have a phone or a television set or both, then your day sure doesn't start until you listen to Yohani Diloka De Silva's--who only goes by Yohani, socially--'Manike Mage Hithe'.

If you have a phone or a television set or both, then your day sure doesn't start until you listen to Yohani Diloka De Silva's--who only goes by Yohani, socially--'Manike Mage Hithe'. The song, in Sinhala language, has been trending globally and even Bollywood superstars Amitabh Bachchan, Tiger Shroff, Madhuri Dixit Nene and Priyanka Chopra Jonas have been humming the soothing tune. Now, in an exclusive chat with WION, Yohani, who is prepping for her India tour, says that the numbers her single's amassed in the past few months has left her more than just overwhelmed. "It feels unreal," she shares. Excerpts from our conversation with her: WION: Your number ‘Manike Mage Hithe’ is practically everywhere, and there are very few artists who have enjoyed this kind of fan following amongst Bollywood stars. The pressure of outdoing yourself could very well leave you feeling overwhelmed. Your thoughts and coping mechanisms? YOHANI: It’s been a crazy experience. Saying it’s overwhelming would be an understatement. I’m quite humbled by all the love and support. It still feels unreal. My teams--Pettah Effect and Theewra Worldwide--have been with me from day one and they take a lot of the pressure off my shoulders. They look into all the collaborations, tours, brand works etc. I get to spend time with the band and prepare for the tour. I enjoy the process and look forward to performing live for as many people as possible. WION: You are probably one of the first international artists to come to India since the pandemic. What was the reaction of your family when you told them about your tour? YOHANI: My parents are very supportive. They are confident that my team is taking care of all necessary security and safety measures. My parents are not from a music background to help me with music, but they want to get involved in pitching wardrobe ideas, song ideas, etc. I’m still their kid daughter and I love how they still spoil me. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Yohani (@yohanimusic) × WION: The song is filled with love and passion. What’s your take on relationships in this age of hook-ups and speed dating? YOHANI: This is a very difficult question and this is only my opinion: I believe love is not something that you find, instead it’s something you work on. It’s like writing a song. There are collaborations, different instruments, a language, different voices etc. and everyone has to work on it. Relationships are a result of this working bond. I don’t see anything wrong with speed dating or hook-ups. It’s all human experiences and if the individuals who are doing this are content, it’s up to them. We shouldn’t have a box for everyone to fit in. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Yohani (@yohanimusic) × WION: So many versions of your cover have come out and in so many languages.
