Weg van India

In ‘Weg van India’ Visjal Auwerx and Joke Emmers take you on a musical narrative. He was born in India, she in Belgium. He loves her, she loves him. They plan to set off together to that wondrous land, will it affect who they are? Does your surroundings or a major event help determine your identity?

Word and music embrace each other on this musical journey, bringing to life stories, both from India and their own concoctions. Be moved, laugh and go on a journey through the buzzing streets of India with the cast. Maybe you will meet yourself there too.

Forget the Taj Mahal or Bollywood, where the Lonely planet stops, they continue. Float along to the magical sounds of the sitar in an intimate setting and immerse yourself in Indian culture. Who knows, by the end you too might just love India.
