Triggered by a home affairs investigation into the validity of their claim to love, an Indian and a German recount an improbable journey. One that traces geographical leaps and bounds, technological trajectories and artistic shifts that began fifteen years ago. Using a chronologically ordered display of artifacts, memorabilia and digital traces from their shared past as starting points into their private and public lives, the pair share their meanderings in narrative verse and music.

Based on the vocabulary of the ensemble wherein the mechanics of the body are observed and utilised to multiply paths and approaches to understanding movement and the body. The facilitators will work on developing work through partnering, finding a common axis between two bodies, counterweight, balance and moving together in space. With these elements, participants will be able to make their own tools to improvise and create movement material. The workshop is aimed at professional dancers, dance students and others interested in developing further knowledge of movement.

Six strangers confront themselves and each other, seeking out their place and purpose. They grapple with hunger and sickness, love and solitude, through their shadowy pasts and the foggy present. In all of this, there is but one certainty - that they cannot escape this place and must try anything they can to bear it. *This work has been possible by the generous support of Japan Foundation

The performance evening brings together three maestros together after a long collaboration. Percussionist trio with Pierre Favre and Lucas Niggli from Switzerland on the drums and Aneesh Pradhan from India on the Tabla. The percussive instruments of the Swiss artists break away from traditional European Jazz make way for a unique sound while collaborating with the Indian classical.

An ensemble theatre production by Barefoot, based on the award-winning story by James Alan Gardner. A delightfully imaginative account of how ‘otherness’ is manufactured, the story is brought alive through music, dance, and the actors’ own reflections and associations.

An Indian revival of Sir David Hare's blockbuster play, Skylight. With Vidushi Mehra as Kyra Hollis and Samar Sarila as Tom Sergeant. Separated in age and attitude, Kyra and Tom battle between their opposing ideologies and mutual desires.

This is a play shrouded in mystery. And the demand for secrecy comes straight from the playwright. At the third bell, the actor on stage is handed the script in a sealed envelope and has to perform as instructed by the playwright. There is nothing between the actor and the audience - no directorial vision, no production design, no technical histrionics. Come, be a part of pure live theatre!

A story of a young man and his deep, abiding concern for a grand old willow tree, told through spoken word and music, played on the piano accordion. The original story is from a collection of Japanese folk tales, & has a hauntingly beautiful quality to it. In this version, details have been reworked and the story expanded, with every effort made to keep the essence of the original intact.

An experimental music project bringing together south Estonian folk vocals and Indian classical-tribal music. Performed in the month of November, believed to be the month of supernatural activities in Estonian folklore, NAAD VÕIM is an atmospheric and experiential gathering of musicians from various disciplines.

The origins of this project go back to Preethi’s study of the functional body in contrast to the performative body. Jumping as a physicality is common to other bodily disciplines such as sport and martial arts, where the decorative element is stripped off to reveal a pure mechanics of the body. In the space of a square pit, a group of people negotiate the force of gravity within their bodies. In relation to one another, individualities surface, giving way to a new sense of the body in the space.

A performance about the tireless fight, that something should happen in life. And the disillusionment that if something happens, then it’s not been the right thing. That the more you want to experience the less you experience. A performance, with three people who want to connect with one another. Dynamic and athletic - this trio is a battlefield.
