Don Quixote by Sahrdaya

One of a kind. Our production is the first adaptation of Cervantes’s novel in the Bharatanatyam idiom.

Rooted in the classical. We stay rooted in Bharatanatyam and Carnatic music, breaking new ground in uniting classical forms with contemporary elements.

Cross-cultural. We bring together two passionate, soulful cultures and countries.

Multi-genre showcase. We aim through our Don Quixote to showcase the rich traditions and arts of India, simultaneously extending their scope to engage varied audiences at home and abroad.

“Sheejith Krishna is an expert Bharatanatyam dancer-choreographer who is known to push the envelope with his cutting-edge group choreographies and contemporary themes in Bharatanatyam … The music with singers Jyothishmathi Sheejith, Akhila Ramnarayan … was of a high order.” — The Hindu, January 24, 2014

“Animated dialogue, eye-catching imagery…Composed by Sheejith Krishna and presented by the Sahrdaya Foundation, the production was distinctive for its layered nuances.” — The Hindu, March 21, 2013
