Songs of the seeker
‘Songs of the Seeker’ by The Sadho Project is an immersive music concert inspired by the poetry and philosophy of Saint Kabirdas, the 15th-century mystic poet.
Original compositions inspired by Kabirdas' poetry are presented alongside reinterpretations of well known Kabir bhajan's. This is a 90 minute immersive performance that will transport the listener. The music travels from rural soundscapes and folk instruments, to the groove of urban rhythms, blending experimental electronic textures with powerful vocal harmonies. Along the way, everyday objects turn into instruments, and familiar sounds take on entirely new forms. At times meditative and expansive, at times rhythmic and full of energy; the experience moves between stillness and groove, inviting you to listen, feel, and sing along.
The Sadho Project is a Bengaluru-based quartet: Vivaswath Rao, Roopini Ravindran, Kusumitha Vasanth, and Aditi Bharatee. The ensemble explores the intersections of Electronic, Indian classical and folk music. The group experiments with sound and genre while staying rooted in India’s cultural and musical heritage, creating performances that are both intellectually engaging and emotionally resonant.

Sharmisthe
A Voice of Resistance. A Mirror to Power. A Question to the Present.
Sharmishtha is not just a character from mythology, she is a woman who refuses to be silenced, even centuries later. Strong-willed, deeply aware, and rooted in the present, Sharmishthe questions the desires, delusions, and decisions of the men around her, Yayati and Puru, in a world shaped by power, patriarchy, and the obsession with eternal youth.
At the heart of the play is a timeless conflict: the hunger for immortality, the politics of possession, and the cost of unchecked ambition. Long before such ideas made global headlines, Sharmishthe lived them. A princess turned servant, a mother, a silent witness, and a fierce challenger, her journey is one of inner strength and relentless truth.
As the myth unfolds, we see Yayati, cursed with old age, bargain with his son Puru to trade his years for youth. What seems like myth slowly reveals itself as a painful metaphor, of privilege handed down, of generations burdened by the unhealed desires of their elders. And standing at the centre is Sharmishthe, who sees through it all.
This play reimagines ancient events through Sharmishtha’s eyes. Through her voice, the past meets the present. She doesn’t merely retell the story, she interrogates it. She confronts Yayati’s delusion, questions Puru’s burden, and holds a mirror up to a world that still believes nature is something to be consumed, controlled, and inherited. Sharmishthe time and again reminds both Yayati and Puru, that the transition they experience is only a dilution and they remain in multi verse, a higher dimension of time and space. Sharmishthe living in presence, convincingly brings back Yayati and Puru from dilution to their senses - i.e. presence.
With myth as metaphor and poetry as protest, Sharmishthe is a call to pause, reflect, and reimagine, not just the stories we tell, but the way we live.

Confessions from Mental Asylum
Confessions from a Mental Asylum follows the raw, unsettling, and darkly humorous journey of Maverick, a man whose only crime is refusing to live a life shaped by monotony and social conditioning. An absurdist soul with an instinctive intolerance for pretense, Maverick navigates the world with a brutal, unfiltered honesty that society cannot or will not tolerate. His refusal to conform becomes the very reason he is branded “unstable” and confined to a mental asylum (There are other reasons too that will be revealed in the play).
Inside the asylum’s walls, Maverick encounters a world that is ironically far more absurd than he is. Through fragmented memories, surreal conversations, and sharply honest monologues, he unravels the thin line between sanity and insanity. The institution meant“fix” him becomes a mirror reflecting society’s fear of truth, individuality, and unpredictability.
The play blends absurdism, introspection, and dark wit, immersing the audience in Maverick’s confessions, sometimes chaotic, sometimes painfully clear. Confessions from a Mental Asylum challenges the audience to question the conventional sought of expression in communication to society and ourselves, should they be re-evaluated or their existence is a Burden.
