Sharing India with the world
We create original work. Five productions have been staged since 2015, in Belgium and Germany.
Each production takes an Indian story, form or text and stages it for a European audience — performed in English, by casts drawn from our own conservatory and from professional artists working in these traditions across Europe and India.
Our repertoire is available for programming. Venues and festivals interested in presenting a production are warmly invited to get in touch.
The Ramayana, staged in three hours
The Indian epic condensed into a single evening, performed in English by a cast of more than thirty. Ramleela — traditionally told over ten nights — reshaped for a European theatre audience without losing the form it comes from.

The Taj Mahal, and the story behind it
Art India's most travelled production. The story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal told through classical and semi-classical dance, staged in Germany and Belgium.

After the book by Amisha Sethi
An adaptation of Amisha Sethi's book, staged as a concert at Bozar on 1 November 2016 — an Indian production on Belgium's national stage for the fine arts, with the author present.
Staged in aid of the Chennai flood relief
A benefit production created in response to the Chennai floods, bringing the music and dance of south India to a Brussels stage in aid of the relief effort.
The dance party that started it
Art India's first large public event, and an immediate success. A Bollywood dance night that proved there was an audience in Brussels well beyond the Indian community — and became the foundation everything since has been built on.
