Event Description

Bhoomija Presents Roysten Abel's 'A 100 Charmers'

100 beens (the instrument snake charmers play, typically solo) and charmers come together for the first time ever as a large-scale orchestra, creating a unique, spectacular musical phenomenon spanning everything from Bollywood tunes to Scottish bagpipe melodies to the community’s restored traditional songs!

Roysten Abel’s 'A 100 Charmers' is a one-of-a-kind musical production, born to shine the spotlight on the slowly diminishing snake charmer community - adversely affected by the ban on using snakes in performances - and bring to the government’s notice the need for alternative vocations that employ the community’s traditional skills. The production has performed on many prestigious stages across the world, emerging as a critical and commercial success everywhere.

A celebrated name in the world of theatre, Roysten Abel is renowned for his unique, pathbreaking productions. From award-winning plays to stunning, larger-than-life musical productions that let rare traditional Indian music forms and artistes take center stage, his diverse range of work has won him much national and international acclaim.
