If you have ever wondered what goes into the making of a legend, let Padma Shri Awardee Shekhar Sen bring the story of poet-saint Kabeer to life, whose illustrious 600-year-old legacy continues to touch hearts and illuminate the path of love and unity.
One hasn’t fully experienced the transformative power of poetry until they encounter the works of the revered master of life, Kabeer. Whether you see him as a religious reformer, a mystic poet, a seeker of truth, or a messenger of love – Kabeer’s witty couplets hold timeless wisdom, expressed in simple, lyrical words, which resonate with people of all faiths. ‘Kabeer: A Musical Mono-Act Play’ showcases the remarkable story of this reformist poet through a captivating solo performance, featuring 45 powerful song sequences.
In this production, Shekhar Sen’s soul-stirring voice and charisma transport the audience to another time and place – the spiritual city of Kashi. Sen’s innovative flair for drama breathes life into Kabeer’s journey, from his encounters with holy figures like Guru Ramanand, Raidas, and Shaikh Fareed, to his marriage to Loyee, and the pivotal moment of his meeting with Sikandar Shah Lodhi. With every nuance, Sen creates a magical, unforgettable musical experience.
Sen – singer, music composer, lyricist, playwright, and actor – carries forward the artistic legacy of his parents, the renowned classical musicians Dr. Aru Kumar Sen and Dr. Aneeta Sen. His unique approach, showcased in over 200 albums, has touched hearts worldwide. His celebrated musical mono-act plays, including ‘Tulsi’, ‘Kabeer’, ‘Vivekanand’, ‘Sahab’, and ‘Soordas’, have earned him global acclaim for their moving blend of skill, sensitivity, and spiritual depth.
Among the many masters who have inspired humanity to embrace love, peace, and religious harmony, Kabeer shines the brightest. Join Sen as he awakens the spirit of an unfading revolutionary.
