Production Description:’ ஈகை is a magical music production that celebrates Tamil music and culture and the Art of Giving. It features live music, multimedia, movement, and storytelling. With music performed by a symphony orchestra, a community choir, professional singers, and a range of dancers ranging from Irish to karakattam, Eegai features seamless transitions between ancient traditions and tunes to orchestral interpretations of popular tunes in a gripping production.
