Serendipity Arts Festival of Goa: get the complete line-up!

There won’t be a dry moment at the Serendipity Arts Festival of Goa to be held along the beautiful banks of River Mandovi. No, not this year at least. The magical Goan fest is about to go on floors very soon in Panaji, and we are here to give you a teaser on what to expect from it.

Of breathtaking dances and theatrical ecstasies

Entertain yourself by being an audience to Bandish, a play revolving a nautanki singer and a baithak performer. Singer Shubha Mudgal will render her voice to the background score, and the play will be directed by Purva Naresh. On the other hand, Daksha Sheth Dance Company will present the views of a weaver on the popular Indian garment sari in their modern dance production titled ‘Sari: The Unstitched.’
Cinema, photography and the works


There is a plethora of activities and shows that a cinema and art lover can look forward to. American contemporary dance expert Mark Morris will present Master Ji, a series of pictures of Bollywood choreographer Saroj Khan, in dance sequence. There will be many more interesting shows for the discerning cinema and photography lovers.

Unique gourmet delights

At the festival, it is not just the food, but also the kind of food we should eat for minimising our carbon footprint that will be in the limelight. The Center for Genomic Gastronomy will organise Planetary Sculpture Picnic, a 60-minute-long walking tour and eating rendezvous as an eco-friendly initiative (early registration required). A Brinjal Cart serving an array of dishes made using the Indian Brinjal will also be one of the main highlights of the food fest. Coconut will also receive much attention in the classic and renovated delicacies at prominent restaurants such as Yellow Chilli. Also, the art of making dark chocolate and cheese-making can be learnt from the who’s who in the business.

Art and craft


Designer Wendell Rodricks will put up on display his exquisite masterpieces inspired by Goa’s traditional Goan pano bhaju garment. And then, there will be an exhibition of jaali motif on Indian wear, stonework, marble inlay, pashmina, bidri craft, leather, and teak objects.
