Mughal Miniatures Walkabout

Mughal Miniatures: The Princess and the Peacock is a vibrant outdoor performance event for all the family, which celebrates and takes inspiration from the exquisite traditional art of Indian and Persian miniature painting.

It is upbeat and fun, with performers in sumptuous regal costumes creating vibrant and colourful mini-worlds of dance, music and puppetry. Evoking scenes of Indian princely courts and lush gardens, and the glory of the Mughal period with a contemporary twist, undercutting expectations and delighting and surprising passers-by. 

Come and see our proud and majestic peacock and our prim and pretty princess roam through the crowds, in Mughal Miniatures: The Princess and the Peacock. Watch out for our cheeky and amorous royal peacock, who is looking for a new mate! Watch them compete for attention from each other and the audience – both are elegant and beautiful so who will manage to outdo the other? With stunning costumes and expressive movement, this
interactive dance performance is a visual treat for the whole family.
