This June, as part of World Music Month, the Embassy of France in India brings French experimental musician Bertrand Devendeville and his iconic performance bAlllAd to the country for the very first time.

Betrand Devendeville is a sound artist working at the crossroads of experimental music and poetry. His performances are not concerts in the traditional sense — they are immersive, participatory experiences that transform public spaces into something collective, alive, and deeply felt. Over 200 performances across the world. Most recently, Nepal.

bAlllAd does not ask you to sit and watch. It asks you to be part of it. Join us for this experimental, immersive piece, in Jaipur!

This multicity tour opens in Delhi before making its way to Jaipur, Kolkata, Goa, Kochi, and Bangalore.

What if objects could speak? On Sunday, February 15th at 10:00 AM, Rockwoods International School will host a scientific luminary for a captivating session: “The Secret Life of Ritual Objects”.

Prof. Philippe Charlier is no ordinary speaker. As a Director of Research and a renowned forensic pathologist, he has revolutionized history by using modern science to solve the “cold cases” of the past—from the mystery of King Henri IV to the medical secrets of Robespierre. During this exceptional morning, he will apply his expert eye to ritual objects to unveil the invisible: their history, their hidden usage, and their “magical charge.” This is an incredible chance for students, history buffs, and the curious to meet the man who makes the dead and ancient artifacts talk. A live scientific investigation that is simply not to be missed. (Entry by invitation only – RSVP required).
