spectacular, Mystic India, hits the stage at the Durban ICC on the 23rd April and at The Teatro Montecasino from the 29th April to 1st May 2016.
Seen by
over half a million people during countless worldwide performances and tours, Mystic India is an internationally acclaimed Bollywood music and dance
spectacular based on the concept of ancient India’s transition into modern
India.
Featuring
some 22 talented musicians, brilliant dancers, mindboggling
aerialists
and acrobats, as well as 750 lavish costume changes, the show is bound to keep
you at the edge of your seat. The flamboyant costumes and extravagant sets have
been custom designed in India’s film capital by a team of 40 creative designers
and collaborators over the course of the last four years.
This
production intertwines a mesmerising combo: Traditional India meets the urban
streets of Mumbai and New York. It is hip and trendy with all the glitter and
bling to make it an allout sensory sensation. This feast showcases Bollywood at
its finest and audiences can brace themselves for an explosion of colour and
energy.
Audience
members will be invited along for a festive journey through Rajasthan, Tamil
Nadu, Maharashtra, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat, and even through the
evolution of Bollywood films via a visual display that fuses dance, theatre and
special effects.
The
celebratory production is directed and choreographed by the prominent
choreographer
and production master, Amit Shah, and produced by USbased
AATMA
Performing Arts, of which Shah is the founder and creative director.
Shah is
known for his critical eye and creative disposition, and has many years of
experience in the world of dance, theatre and media. He has worked on Bollywood
film sets with top actors and his choreography has been featured on stage with
Miss World Priyanka Chopra, as well as in several films and music videos.
Talking
about Mystic India, Amit says, “If you
have ever wanted to visit India, this production is your direct flight there.
Mystic India will blow you all the way to the small villages of India to the
fastpaced streets of Mumbai and New York. Audiences will get it all!”
The female
lead of Mystic India, Kruti Shah, is an internationally distinguished dancer and
choreographer who shot to fame as a Top 10 finalist on the dance reality show, Just Dance.
While
intensively training in modern forms of movement, such as ballet, pointe, tap,
hiphop, jazz and modern, Kruti also developed an interest in more ancient
Indian forms of dance, particularly Bharatnyatam and Kathak.
She joined
the AATMA as a principal dancer in 2010 and has since been promoted to
choreographer and dance trainer for the popular troupe.
Mystic India’s narrator, Sanjay Sahini, is originally from Delhi, India, and
received his professional actor’s training at the acclaimed HB Studios in New
York City. His breakout role was in the movie Khel Shuru in 2006, and since then he has gone on to perform in numerous
films, theatre and offBroadway
productions.
One of his
most notable performances was in Qurbaani, a short film for which he received a Best Actor Award. He also
received numerous awards for his oneman show, in which he performs incredible
imitations of Bollywood’s big stars.
Bringing
the element of adventure to Mystic
India, are the specialty acts, like the ancient sport of Mallakhamb and
the aerial arts. The choreographer, trainer and performer in charge of
constructing these stunning pieces into the show, is Rajesh Mudki. He hails
from Mumbai, India, where he has devoted his life to these spectacular sports.
