A breathtaking musical about “The Father of Qawwali” is almost here – and you won’t want to miss it

Don’t miss your chance to witness a love letter to one of history’s most extraordinary talents

Jo Dooba So Paar is the story of Ameer Khusrau, the 14th century poet, musician, and reformer whose contributions to literature, music, and culture still echo across the world today. Created after two years of meticulous research, this musical traces Khusrau’s journey from his early years as a gifted child, through his rise within the Indian Sultanate, and into his transformation into the legendary figure he is remembered as today. The story also explores the deep spiritual connection Khusrau had with his Guru, Nizamuddin Auliya, and how their relationship helped give birth to Qawwali itself. 

What makes Jo Dooba So Paar genuinely unlike anything else is how it brings the story to life. This is a Dastangoi performance, an ancient Urdu form of storytelling, woven together with live Qawwali music and theatre into something that feels both timeless and alive. Performed in Hindi, Uridu and Persian, the production pulls you directly into the atmosphere of ancient Hindustan, thanks to its breathtaking vocals, anecdotes, and a live ensemble of talented performers on stage.
