In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak and the lockdown that followed, the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) has launched a digital series called NCPA@home so that its patrons can enjoy some of the finest performances from the confines of their home.
Launched earlier this month, it showcases the best of events from its archives on its YouTube channel - TheNCPAMumbai1.
While last week, it saw a dance performance by Mallika Sarabhai and Roysten Abel’s The Manganiyar Seduction, this week will see Zakir Hussain's tabla concerto, a performance by ace blues musician Mud Morganfield and a Kathak performance by Aditi Mangaldas.
