Kalaa Utsavam, the annual Indian festival of performing arts in Singapore, presented by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, returns on November 15-24, 2024.
The festival line-up is set to enthral culture aficionados, the highlight being renowned choreographer and dancer Akram Khan’s show GIGENIS – the generation of the Earth, an Esplanade co-production. The show makes its exclusive Asian stop in Singapore during this festival.
Alongside Akram Khan, this production brings together different Indian dance forms and some of their finest performers from three continents. Following its world premiere in France in August 2024, the show will also tour London and New York. GIGENIS shines a spotlight on the enduring resonance of tradition in a rapidly changing world.
For younger audience members, Ranga Shankara’s AHA! Theatre for Children has the puppetry production of Old Man and the Sea — this show breathes new life into Hemingway’s timeless story of human endurance and dignity in the face of life’s inevitable struggles.
Kalaa Utsavam also features artistes and productions that reflect the rich cultural exchange between India and the world.
Music fans can look forward to the genre-blending sounds of The F16s from Chennai, a band known for its smooth vocals and catchy melodies.
The fusion of Indian classical dance with Japanese Taiko drumming in Chi Udaka by Taikoz and Lingalayam Dance Company from Australia showcases the ever-evolving landscape of Indian art on the world stage.
Comedy lovers can expect an evening of laughter and sharp wit, with Tamil comedians Jagan Krishnan and Vikkals Vikram, who will perform for the first time as a double bill, while music fans will be captivated by Sam Vishal and friends’ soulful melodies.
This year, Kalaa Utsavam presents Ramana Balachandhran, a veena prodigy who has delivered some mesmerising performances.
Singapore’s very own RaghaJazz will celebrate its 15th anniversary with an innovative fusion of jazz and Indian classical music, making its performance of Tidal Streams a must-see.
Literature-based offerings include Train to Pakistan, a gripping co-production with HuM Theatre based on Khushwant Singh’s novel; and Living Ancestor by ArunDitha, SISTRUM & Beatroot Ensemble featuring Mohamed Noor and Munir Alsagoff, an experiential performance that promises to be thought-provoking and engaging.
In addition to ticketed events, Kalaa Utsavam offers an array of free programmes, including workshops and roving performances that make the festival accessible to all.
