Every production is built on the strength of those who stand behind it. With MAYA, we were held by a community of collaborators, supporters, and audiences whose presence and belief shaped the experience in ways seen and unseen.
MAYA happened. And it happened because of people — many, many people — who showed up, who stayed up, who believed before the curtain rose and gave everything after it did.
This is our vote of thanks. It is not a formality. It is a celebration of the collaboration, the courage, and the collective energy that carried this production from an idea to a standing ovation at the NCPA.
Every great production is really just a great team in disguise.
Our Sponsors
None of this reaches an audience without the belief of those who back it first. To our sponsors who trusted the vision, supported the mission, and made the evening possible, we are profoundly grateful. Your partnership was not just financial; it was a statement of faith in what the arts can do and who they can uplift.
Society Tea · Feier · PilatesNMore · Artress · Leher
A special note of gratitude to Artress for going beyond sponsorship and into collaboration. Your artworks and painted backdrops gave MAYA its visual soul. The stage would not have been the same without you.
Our Performers
To the artists who stood on that stage, who carried the story in their bodies, and who rehearsed relentlessly and performed fearlessly, thank you, Mythili and Bhavisha, for giving MAYA its heartbeat. What you brought to the NCPA on April 9th was not just technically extraordinary. It was brave, generous, and deeply human. You are what Junoon is built on.
Our Academy Students in Dhasa
You are the reason MAYA exists. Every rehearsal, every fundraising conversation, every late night in production, it all comes back to you and the futures you are building through your discipline and devotion. You have been training since September 2021. You are both students and teachers. You are the living proof that this mission matters. MAYA was made for you, and one day soon, stages across India will be made by you.
Our Volunteers and Support Teams
The ones who managed the details no one sees but everyone feels. The logistics, the coordination, the back-and-forth, the showing-up when called. Junoon runs on the dedication of people who believe in the work enough to give their time freely. We could not do any of this without you.
Our Audience
You completed the circle. A production without an audience is a rehearsal. You came to the NCPA; you watched, you felt, and you gave not just your applause but also your support for something far larger than one evening’s entertainment. You invested in the futures of young Dancers in rural Gujarat. That is not a small thing. That is everything.
Our Narrator
To Ms. Parul Sheth, who led us into and through the show and critical junctures, we owe you our deepest love and gratitude. Thank you for lending us your voice.
The Venue
To the National Centre for Performing Arts, Mumbai, it was an honour to take the stage once again at a historic venue such as yours.
Thank you to the teams that supported us and helped our second production come to life.
Yours,
Hemadevika
