Director and playwright Roysten Abel, along with renowned percussionist Ranjit Barot, is bringing an audio-visual performance titled Beat Route to Bengaluru this weekend. The show will feature 10 master folk percussionists from Rajasthan and Kerala, offering an “earthy, high-spirited electro experience”. According to Abel, the Bengaluru audience is genuinely curious about new experiences, making it the perfect setting for this unique performance.

In a recent discussion, Abel emphasized the importance of creating new and enjoyable experiences for both himself and his team, without forcing anything. His approach involves focusing on innovation and excitement rather than treating each project as an experiment. He finds inspiration in his personal experiences and aims to engage audiences with fresh and original music.

Reflecting on the evolving landscape of theatre, Abel acknowledges the challenge of sustaining attention in an era of short attention spans. He believes that theatre holds a special appeal for young people and emphasizes the need to consistently engage audiences amidst changing media trends.The event is scheduled to take place at the Chowdiah Memorial Hall on October 5th at 5 pm.
