We’re building something new with LUMEN. A space where a subject comes first. Then comes the research, the questions, the conversations and the looking around. And somewhere along the way, a story begins to take shape. [1/3] #LUMEN #ResearchToFilm

Kolkata, our second show tickets are now live. If you love football, the World Cup, unforgettable stories, and the fascinating intersection of sport, history, and geopolitics, this one's for you. If you missed out on tickets for our first sold-out show, here's your second chance. Just like the first one, we have very limited seats, so we'd recommend booking yours early.
