About Ramaavan...

For the first time, a unique Broadway-inspired staged production based on a literary masterpiece and treasure – The Ramayana - one of the most popular epics from India,  brought to a global audience in India and United States.  
A never-before-seen production based on the much-loved tale of India’s prince Ram and Lanka’s King Ravan that includes diverse artists and genres to retell this classic through visual, literary and performing art techniques from around the world.
The musical features Indian classical and folk dance and music along with musical theatre, opera, jazz, contemporary and ballet creating a unique opportunity to build bridges between different cultures creating mutual respect, peace and understanding.
Groundbreaking opportunities paving the path for Indian classical and folk artists to be featured in a mainstream production in the U.S possibly leading to its off-Broadway or Broadway debut.
The musical also subtly addresses racism and gender inequalities for eg. by showcasing women warriors and diverse races and skin colors within the same family and/or character

Though the tale is ancient, our interpretation of the story challenges "Status Quo" and how social issues have
  • - Peace, mutual respect and understanding
  • - Women's rights and Shakti (power)
  • - Racism and matters of color
  • - Melts away boundaries of gender, caste, race, religion & color, promoting brotherhood & harmony.
  • - A purely cultural representation of the story making it universally enjoyable and acceptable to all.
