A participatory dance piece was created in 2024 based on the digital comic ‘Sakuntala's Ring’, which was published by the Bavarian State Ballet (www.in-toon.com). The famous legend of Sakuntala was brought to life by Indian-born dancer Anoosha Shastry using elements of classical Indian dance. 

Amateur actors developped new choreographic elements for the danced scenes by Anoosha Shastry and added their own ideas to the original. The production premiered at the National Theatre in September 2024. 

The sound design was created by Renu Hossain (RENU), a London-born, interdisciplinary artist of Bengali origin. For her musical arrangement, she worked with an original recording of ‘La Bayadère’, which was recorded in 2023 with the Bavarian State Orchestra under the direction of Michael Schmidtsdorff. Martina Borsche and Serge Honegger developed the concept and idea for the dance piece.
