Take a wild ride to paradise with Indian Ink’s powerful new play about impermanence - of life, love…. and ice cream! 
 
This glorious production is inspired by Ernest Becker’s Pulitzer prize winning “Denial of Death,” and the vibrant, life–filled chaos of India’s most cosmopolitan city, Mumbai.  
 
Jacob Rajan delivers a dazzling solo performance as he channels seven characters, weaving the afterlife and a dash of Bollywood disco into the real-life mystery of India’s vanishing vultures. 

A man trying desperately to avoid death is flung between limbo and his past where a rebellious young woman holds the key that may guide him to paradise. 

Infused with serious laughter, exquisite puppetry and inspired sound design this show is guaranteed to blow your mind and melt your heart.

By Jacob Rajan and Justin Lewis.
 

Please join us for a short Q&A session after the performance. This will be an opportunity for the audience to learn more about Paradise and how it was created. 
Light snacks and refreshments will be available in the Studio before the Q&A commences.
