The audience in Bengaluru is known for their genuine curiosity towards new experiences, which sets them apart from other cities, says director and playwright Roysten Abel. Teaming up with renowned percussionist Ranjit Barot, Roysten is bringing an audio-visual performance titled Beat Route to the city this weekend. The show features 10 master folk percussionists from Rajasthan and Kerala, promising an "earthy, high-spirited electro experience." Roysten emphasizes the importance of creating a fresh and enjoyable experience for both himself and the team, without any forced or contrived elements. He expresses excitement about collaborating with talented musicians to create something truly unique and unprecedented.

Roysten reflects on the enduring appeal of stage productions, highlighting theatre's ability to connect with young audiences and sustain attention in an era dominated by social media. He believes that theatre offers a broader outreach and can engage individuals with short attention spans. Drawing inspiration from his personal experiences, Roysten focuses on crafting his own distinctive music rather than imitating others. He sees each new production as an opportunity to overcome challenges and create fresh, engaging work that resonates with both himself and the audience. While some may view his approach as experimental, Roysten views it as a natural process of exploring new creative avenues.The event is scheduled to take place at the Chowdiah Memorial Hall on October 5th at 5 pm.
