From Vedic Wisdom to Bollywood Brilliance

The acclaimed creators of I am Ravana, Antaryana and Swan Festival of Lights, invite you to an unforgettable extravaganza, Timeless India. Two exclusive performances on 29th and 30th September at the Kingsway Christian College Auditorium. Tickets are now on sale.

Timeless India is a spellbinding fusion of traditional Indian music and dance, featuring the participation of 100+ local and international artists, students, teachers, and professional musicians, delivering an enchanting voyage from the mystical echoes of the Vedic period to the exhilarating beat of modern Bollywood.

This grand spectacle reimagines and recontextualises Indian classical music and dance and seeks to illustrate how music and dance have historically acted as a cultural thread, creating a tangible link between generations and presenting a dynamic narrative of our shared humanity.

Grounded in different traditions and forms, this performance is multi-disciplinary fusing the past with the present, maestros with emerging artists creating a new art form. Expect a symphony of sound and rhythm that pulses with the heart of India, accompanied by 30 dancers who will inject life into the performance, their fluid movements embodying the adaptability and versatility of traditional Indian art forms.

Timeless India is proud to work with local specialist groups Ganesha Samskruthi Vadhyakala Samithi (Chenda Melam), Abhinaya School of Kuchipudi, and Bhangra Rulez, whose talents and expertise bring added authenticity and richness to the stage.

Audiences will be taken on a journey from the graceful moves of Bharata Natyam to the rhythmic beats of Bhangra, from the mystical allure of Sufi music to the invigorating steps of Dandiya, and from the commanding energy of the Manipuri drum dance to the storytelling prowess of Kathak. Along the way, it also resonates with the wisdom of Kabir, Abhang, and Tagore's soulful poetry

A tour-de-force of artistic expression, Timeless India is a heartfelt tribute to the country's enduring cultural heritage. Each art form, each verse, and each note contributes to the grand tapestry that is Timeless India. Together, they embody the diversity, dynamism, and vibrancy of Indian culture, creating an evolving cultural narrative that is as mesmerising as it is enlightening.
