Enjoy a rhythmic rollercoaster as Bharatanatyam powerhouses Shruti Gopal, Kavya Ganesh, Indu Venu, and Preethi Bharadwaj team up with rap icon Shreyas Sagvekar to present a comical dance-theatre-rap spectacle!

Blending classical artistry with contemporary satire, this multi-genre production turns Bharatanatyam on its head in a way you could have never imagined!  

Curated by Kavya Ganesh – a visionary danseuse trained under Rama Vaidyanathan – this one-of-a-kind experience infuses tradition with biting wit, interactive crowd-work, and a hearty sprinkle of theatrical drama. Fresh off a sold-out premiere in Bangalore, it complements the timeless grace of the artform with an array of surprising elements to create a fun, relatable, and engaging showcase that leaves the audience wondering what’s coming next! 

The production features acclaimed artists such as Shruti Gopal, who brings the drama with her mastery in abhinaya (expressions); Indu Venu, whose bold and sensitive choreography makes Bharatanatyam look like the cool older cousin of contemporary dance; Preethi Bharadwaj, who bridges the gap between dance and theatre with dynamic flair; and leading the troop, Kavya Ganesh, who fuses tradition with satire to create unforgettable moments.  
 
Now for the wildcard! Joining the motley crew is Shreyas Sagvekar – a rapper, producer, and battle rap champ with roots in Marathi devotional. With his music and skills honed across Ratnagiri, Mumbai, and Pune, Shreyas has performed everywhere from Pune's Baalgandharva Natyagruha to Gully Fest, and from Spotify's Rap 91 to the Ziro Festival – blending hip-hop with Indian traditions every step of the way. So, come for the dance, stay for the laughs, and head home wondering why this too-cool-for-school mash-up did not happen sooner.
