Indian storyteller and author Laksh Maheshwari, known by his digital identity Single Handedly, is set to make his Nepal debut with a live storytelling performance in Kathmandu on November 29.
Maheshwari will present Khushiyan Lekar Aaya Hai – A Storytelling Special at Nepal Academy Hall, Kamaladi, from 4pm. The event is being organised by Nepal-based live entertainment company Pinnacle Entertainment.
The performance will bring together storytelling, poetry, humour and music, with Maheshwari exploring themes such as love, relationships, culture, spirituality and human emotions. The organisers said the show is designed to move between humour, nostalgia and reflection through a combination of narratives and live performance.
Maheshwari has developed his storytelling style through digital content and live performances. He is also an author and co-author of The Descendants Trilogy, written with Ashish Kavi. His work combines literary narratives with elements of performance and explores personal and social experiences through storytelling.
The Kathmandu show will give local audiences an opportunity to see Maheshwari perform live for the first time. The organisers said the event is intended to bring storytelling and related forms of live performance to a wider audience in Nepal.
Pinnacle Entertainment said it has been organising live comedy, music and other artist-led events in Nepal, while also working to create opportunities for performers and regional talent.
Tickets for the Kathmandu show are available through Khalti. Yash Bharadwaj is serving as the strategic consultant for the event.
