The Anandpur Experience (working title) is a new immersive theatre production by playwright Paneet Singh that is currently in the early stages of development. The vision is to transport audiences to the mountainous region of Punjab in the 18th century where the burgeoning epicentre of the Sikh kingdom was brimming with spirituality, art, and everyday life, set against the backdrop of the increasingly antagonistic imperial rule of the Mughals.
Join a panel of artists from the Sikh, Punjabi, and South Asian communities as they discuss the relationship of storytelling to their work, as well as offer a glimpse into the early stages of working on this new show.
Facilitated By: Paneet Singh
Creative Team: Adele Noronha, Andy Kalirai, Jvala Singh, Milan Singh, Preeti Kaur Dhaliwal, Sunroop Kaur
