A fantasy tale of the birth of a world, of the creation of the gods of air, water, earth and fire, and their battles, the show is put together by 14 performers. (IE Photo: Oinam Anand

The preview of the show saw live stage singing in English and French. The show was amalgamation of dazzling costumes, colossal inflatable sets, spectacular stilt and aerial trapeze acts. (IE Photo: Oinam Anand)

The show was born out of the surrealistic imagination of the Haffner Brothers in 2004, after six months of creation and rehearsals. (IE Photo: Oinam Anand)

"My mother is from India. It's great to perform here, and get such amazing response. We feel our purpose is served looking at the response we got from the public. I love Indian food, and we are looking forward to perform more in India," said Rachel, who is playing a character of the goddess of fire. (IE Photo: Oinam Anand)
