Antaranga: Boundless Longing – Presented by Ekatvam

The production brought together renowned Carnatic vocalist Sandeep Narayan and acclaimed Kalakshetra-trained classical dancer Radhe Jaggi. Performing together on a single stage for the first time, the husband-and-wife duo presented a seamless blend of Carnatic music, Bharatanatyam, and the ancient martial art form Kalaripayattu along with Project Samskriti. Together, they delivered a continuous, theatrical narrative exploring the emotions of longing and connection.

“We rarely pay for music in India the way we pay for everything else we value… To attempt that scale, everything has to rise together. The theme, the concept, the performers, the sound, the decor  each has to earn its place in a room built for something larger than a concert.”  Rajmohan Krishnan, Founder Trustee of Entrust Foundation.

The initiative was well-received by the public, reaching full capacity 16 days prior to the event. This response confirms the presence of a dedicated audience willing to support classical art when presented in an expansive, high-quality format.

Antaranga featured an ensemble of accomplished musicians, including Subhiksha Rangarajan, Lalit Talluri, HN Bhaskar, Bharat Damodaran, Akshay Yesodharan, Prankur Kataria, Sumesh Narayan, and MT Aditya. Creative head Rupin Suchak alongside Sandeep Kumar & team, designed the visual layout, which was illuminated by Prathmesh and Gowtham. The evening was further highlighted by the attendance of Sadhguru, who joined as a guest to experience the performance.
