Roysten Abel’s The Manganiyar Seduction: A Night of Music, Magic, and Goosebumps

Every once in a while, Bengaluru gets to witness something truly special.

The kind of performance that doesn’t just entertain you for a couple of hours but leaves you with memories you’ll carry for years.

Roysten Abel’s The Manganiyar Seduction is exactly that.

Now, I’ve been to a fair share of concerts and plays in the city, but this one is… different.

Picture this.

Forty musicians, each in their own little red-curtained cubicle stacked on stage like a glowing palace of light.

The show begins in complete silence. Then a single voice cuts through the stillness.

Another joins in. Then another.

Slowly, the sound grows into this unstoppable wave of rhythm and melody until your very heartbeat starts to match theirs.

A Global Phenomenon… That Rarely Comes to Bengaluru

Here’s the thing.

This show has travelled the world, performed over 700 times in iconic venues across continents.

And yet, it’s only been staged in Bengaluru a handful of times.

That’s why 30 August 2025 at the Prestige Centre for Performing Arts (PCPA) is such a big deal.

The Manganiyars, folk musicians from the deserts of Rajasthan, will be here to tell their stories through song.

Tales of love, devotion, longing, celebration, gods, and lovers… all woven into haunting Marwadi and Sindhi melodies that can make you close your eyes and forget the world.

Roysten Abel: The Visionary Behind the Magic

If you’ve ever followed Indian theatre, you’ll know Roysten Abel’s name.

From Othello in Black and White to Flowers to The Manganiyar Classroom, his works are not just plays.

They’re experiences.

He has this knack for blending traditional art forms with visually stunning stagecraft, creating something that feels both rooted and revolutionary.

With The Manganiyar Seduction, he doesn’t just give us a concert, he gives us a theatrical explosion of sight and sound.

And trust me, once you’ve seen those red-curtained cubicles light up in perfect sync with the music, you’ll understand why this show is celebrated across the globe.

Why You Absolutely Shouldn’t Miss This One
