Delhi theatre and storytelling enthusiasts can look forward to a memorable cultural weekend as three days of DASTANGOI come to the India Habitat Centre, Delhi, from 16 to 18 October 2026. Known for its captivating blend of spoken storytelling, performance and imagination, DASTANGOI continues to hold a special place in India’s performing arts landscape. Across three evenings, audiences will have the opportunity to experience this traditional storytelling form in a live setting, making it an engaging weekend option for theatre lovers, artists, students and anyone interested in Indian oral performance traditions.

DASTANGOI is a distinctive form of storytelling in which performers bring stories to life primarily through their voice, expressions, language and the power of narration. Unlike productions that depend heavily on elaborate sets or visual effects, the focus remains on the storyteller and the audience’s imagination. Over the years, the form has found renewed interest among contemporary audiences and theatre practitioners, helping introduce new generations to the richness of oral storytelling. The upcoming three-day programme at India Habitat Centre offers audiences an opportunity to spend their evenings immersed in stories, words and performances that celebrate the enduring appeal of this art form.

The event will take place on 16, 17 and 18 October 2026, offering three evenings of live DASTANGOI in the heart of Delhi. Theatre groups, performers and cultural enthusiasts looking to explore different forms of Indian performance may find the programme especially interesting and audiences are encouraged to book their seats in advance. For those planning their October weekend, the three-day DASTANGOI programme promises an opportunity to experience storytelling in one of its most intimate and engaging forms.
