Roysten Abel, a director and playwright, notes that the audience in Bengaluru stands out for their genuine curiosity in new experiences compared to other cities. In collaboration with accomplished percussionist Ranjit Barot, Roysten is gearing up to present an audio-visual performance titled Beat Route. This performance will feature 10 master folk percussionists from Rajasthan and Kerala, set to take place in the city this weekend. Roysten describes the show as an "earthy, high-spirited electro experience" aimed at delivering a fresh and enjoyable experience for both the performers and the audience. He emphasizes the importance of creating something unique and exciting, especially when working with talented musicians who are eager to explore new sounds. Roysten shares his thoughts on theater's enduring appeal and its ability to connect with younger audiences. He stresses the need to sustain attention in a world filled with distractions, highlighting the challenge of engaging individuals with short attention spans. Drawing inspiration from personal experiences, Roysten emphasizes the importance of creating his own distinctive music rather than following trends. He views experimentation as a key element in his creative process, striving to offer something fresh and engaging to captivate both himself and the audience.The event will take place at the Chowdiah Memorial Hall on October 5th at 5 pm.
