THEATRE PRODUCTION SOUND
We have created original music, sound design and provided live sound engineering for professional theatre and stage productions for over 20 years for over 300 productions since 1997. Below are some of the bigger productions.
NATI BINODINI BY DIRECTED BY AMAL ALLANA
Amal Allana’s production of NATI BINODINI is based on the true story of a female born out of wedlock in Calcutta in 1863. The play traces her life from 1863 till 1941.
It gives us a glimpse into this woman’s life who went on to become a glorious actress. She was the fifth woman then to enter the theatre, which was dominated by men.
The play projects Binodini at two levels simultaneously- of the life she led off stage and on stage.
Our team created the original music arrangement, sound design and executed the live sound engineering for shows of Natti Benodini.

A HOUSE OF CORRECTION BY REHAAN ENGINEER
Rehaan Engineer started his production house with an aim to explore new venues.
In his continuous attempts to provoke the audience, his rendition of Howard Barker’s “A House of Correction” has the audience facing the looming world war, in a castle with a bedridden poet and three women. A government messenger brings a dispatch as war planes constantly fly overhead from both directions, dropping bombs and poems.
Our team created an original score composed according to director Rehaan Engineer's desire for it to be in the 17th century Baroque style of western classical music.
