Kho Kho World Cup 2025 Opening Ceremony

Artistic direction | INDIA 2025

In January 2025, the Kho Kho World Cup made its grand debut at the Indira Gandhi Arena in New Delhi, India. Among the highlights of this historic event was a breathtaking aerial performance, directed by internationally acclaimed artist Erika Lemay.

The creation of this piece was a feat of determination, executed under a highly compressed timeline. Despite the challenges, the result was a visually stunning performance that captivated the audience and added a layer of elegance and innovation to the event.

The evening itself was a celebration of talent and tradition, hosted with grace by Gitikka Ganju Dhar and enriched by the artistic contributions of Shiamak Davar and his team. Together, these elements created an unforgettable experience for all in attendance.

This performance stands as a testament to the power of collaboration. It was realised through the collaboration of a dedicated team, including the creative vision of Samit Garg (E-Factor Experiences), whose trust and support were integral to the success of this production. Avishkar Tendle (Natura Outdoor Education & Training Solutions Pvt Ltd) ensured the security and automation with the highest security standards.
