Join us for an extraordinary cultural celebration as the acclaimed Bengali cultural group Prantik brings to life the enduring vision of Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore in the magnificent Great Hall of Dartington Estate. This special performance, commemorating Tagore's birth anniversary, will reveal the inspiration for the "Dartington experiment" through a carefully curated selection of his timeless songs and profound poetry about the universal themes of humanity, love and nature. It will include new, rhyming English translations by Prasenjit Saha that make Tagore's genius accessible to contemporary audiences.
As Leonard Elmhirst himself acknowledged, without Tagore's influence Dartington would never have existed. Through this unique performance, Prantik invites you to discover or rediscover the transformative power of Tagore's art while celebrating the cross-cultural exchange and innovative thinking that defined both his school in Santiniketan and Dartington.
