Roysten Abel's The Manganiyar Seduction

Forty musicians. Red-curtained cubicles. One stage. The Manganiyar Seduction is not just a concert—it’s a theatrical explosion of sight and sound. Created by visionary director Roysten Abel, this genre-defying experience brings together the haunting, hypnotic music of the Manganiyars of Rajasthan and a stage that lights up like a mystical palace of rhythm. It begins in silence. Then one voice. Then another. A crescendo of folk, faith, and fire that builds till your heartbeat syncs with theirs.

A Global Phenomenon, a Bengaluru rarity. This show has travelled the world—over 700 performances in the most iconic venues across continents. And yet, it has been seen fewer than five times in Bengaluru. That makes this night, 30 Aug at PCPA, a much anticipated event. The voices of the desert, singing stories of longing, celebration, gods and lovers, will rise again—and this time, they’ll echo in the heart of Namma Bengaluru.

If you’ve never seen The Manganiyar Seduction, you’ve never seen anything like it. And if you have, you already know why you must return. Come for the goosebumps. Stay for the magic. Leave with your soul stirred.
