Show Description
Celtic Darbar is a contemporary musical theatre production that brings together live music, dance, and narrative to explore cultural exchange through a Welsh and Indian lens. The production draws on Welsh language and traditional musical heritage, blending instruments such as the crwth and harp with Indian classical forms including sitar, tabla, and vocal music. The piece unfolds as an engaging theatrical journey, balancing humour and emotional depth, and is performed by a diverse ensemble of professional and community artists. Choreography forms a central part of the storytelling, featuring Indian dancers performing classical ballet and a Russian dancer presenting the Indian Kathak form challenging expectations and celebrating artistic exchange across cultures. Dynamic, accessible, and rich in storytelling, Celtic Darbar offers audiences a distinctive musical theatre experience that connects history, tradition, and contemporary performance in a fresh and imaginative way.
