Event Date: April 25 (7PM); April 26 (2PM)

Enchantment is an intimate theatrical journey into the inner life of music giant Ravi Shankar. This is not a standard retelling of Shankar's legendary career. Instead, this bioplay steps into the inner world of the sitar maestro — his doubts, regrets, struggles, and the fierce resolve that carried him from a boy dancer in Paris to one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century.

Through moments of vulnerability and brilliance, the play reveals how Ravi Shankar transformed adversity into artistic triumph. Written by Gowri Ramnarayan and shaped by the maestro's own witty and poignant words, Enchantment weaves theatre, live dance, and music into a richly immersive experience. The production features Ravi Shankar's original sitar recordings and exclusive compositions rendered by Bombay Jayashri, with Aditya Prakash, Vignesh Ishwar, and Chaitra Sairam.
