MudFort Stage

MudFort Stage is an international multidisciplinary performing arts festival rooted in the cultural heritage and contemporary spirit of Bengaluru. Inspired by the legacy of Nadaprabhu Kempe Gowda and the city’s historic mud fort, the festival brings together artists, performers, cultural practitioners, creative thinkers, and audiences from India and across the world. The festival presents a vibrant spectrum of theatre, music, movement, interdisciplinary arts, creative technologies, installations, and interactive experiences. It creates a space where diverse artistic traditions meet contemporary ideas, encouraging dialogue, collaboration, experimentation, and international artistic exchange. MudFort Stage also seeks to strengthen Bengaluru’s position as a dynamic cultural destination by creating meaningful platforms for artists and audiences while celebrating the city’s evolving identity. Through performances, conversations, workshops, artistic encounters, and collaborative projects, the festival aims to build connections across cultures and disciplines. More than a festival, MudFort Stage is envisioned as a meeting ground for tradition, contemporary practice, innovation, and imagination—bringing the world to Bengaluru and taking Bengaluru’s creative spirit to the world.
