Indian Ink return with new show!

Indian Ink

Indian Ink Theatre Company return with the premiere of Balloon Dog; a deeply affecting and timely new work inspired by one of India’s most beloved stories. Following a sell out preview season, this highly anticipated production from Indian Ink embarks on its Aotearoa tour to Whangārei, Hamilton, Tauranga and Auckland from 16 May – 20 June.

An adaptation of Kabuliwala by Rabindranath Tagore, Indian Ink swaps 1800s Calcutta for 21st century Auckland in a beautifully tender tale that reveals we’re more alike than we think. In true Ink style, it blends serious laughter with music and dance that lifts the room.
