Step into the quirky, thought-provoking world of Everybody, a fresh and audacious adaptation of the 15th-century morality play Everyman. Written by Pulitzer Prize finalist Brandon Jacobs Jenkins, this bold theatrical journey dives into life's ultimate question: What will you hold onto when it’s time to let go?

It’s nothing less than astonishing that a play first performed in 431 BC echoes so much of the world’s current torments. Euripides’ Greek tragedy Medea is said to be based on a myth, but the act’s devastating relevance in the present time cannot be stressed enough.

As Bengaluru embraces autumn, SwarTaal, Jagriti Theatre’s annual festival celebrating Indian classical music and dance, is in full swing. In its eighth year, the programme features three performances that captivate, provoke thought, and transport audiences through unique expressions of devotion, philosophy, and artistry.

Kapila Venu, a Koodiyattam dancer will perform at Jagriti’s annual classical music and dance festival, SwarTaal, which will be held in Bengaluru between September 27 and 29.

Watch ‘Bali: The Sacrifice,’ a story of a king, caught between his Jain queen, who refuses to harm life, and his mother, who believes in sacrificial rites, finds himself struggling to reconcile his love for the women in his life, his position as a ruler, and perhaps the hardest of all, his faith. This production of Girish Karnad’s play takes you through one night of pathos, anger, and laughter, unravelling barriers of caste and religious beliefs.
