The Auroville Theatre Group presents: Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare

A political tragedy seen through a contemporary lens. When world politics began to shake and chaos was on the horizon, I knew that we must show our audience what happens when foolish men do foolish things. Everyone is standing at a moment of decision, and the consequences are huge and tragic.

Bhrigu Sahni Live: Before the Bloom
Before the Bloom is an intimate solo evening of original songs in Hindi and English, shared in a space of transition.
Having recently completed his third album, Bhrigu finds himself in the stillness before it meets the world. This concert brings together songs from earlier chapters alongside newer, unreleased pieces - music shaped by reflection, love, presence, and change. The evening invites you to listen closely, soften a little, and leave feeling slightly more open than when you arrived. Genres: Singer-songwriter/ Ethereal Folk / Acoustic
