At 65, Indian contemporary dancer Astad Deboo continues to remain one of the most popular dancers in the country. His productions are the most looked forward to, with larger-than-life visuals and dramatic props, in true Deboo style. After his last production, Interpreting Tagore, which was highly appreciated by the audience and critics, he plans to kick off 2013 in style, with a new solo production, which will premiere on January 1 in New Delhi.

While Interpreting Tagore presented an understanding of the legendary bard through an interpretation of some of his poems, the new solo production, titled Toba Tek Singh, is based on the story written by the famous Pakistani poet and author Sadat Hassan Manto. Apart from that, in the coming year, Deboo also plans to take Interpreting Tagore to Delhi, Chennai, Auroville and other places.
