Tirtha Yatra

Looks like my new production may finally have a home! It has been more than a year since I did something new. The last was 'Olave Jeevana Saakshaatkaara', which was a huge success, but since then has not had many shows.....probably because of the radical theme?

This time, I have decided to go more 'mainstream' as it were. 'Tirtha Yatra' will be in my usual sing-walk-talk style, and will be a journey through the different pilgrimage centres in India and the devotional music associated with each. Still need to do lots of research and make sure each form sounds authentic. Each time I do a new production, be it Mira or OJS, it has been like giving birth to a child (how would I know?) - exhausting, emotional, exhilrating and draining. This one will be no different.

And the journey begins!
