Nakuul Mehta and Aakanksha Singh brought alive a timeless skill of letter-reading at Spoken Fest Mumbai 2026, weaving together poetry, storytelling, and fragments of love across generations.

From Franz Kafka and Rainer Maria Rilke to Amrita Pritam, Imroz, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, and Bhagat Singh, this performance travels through letters that hold love, longing, resistance, intimacy, and history. Through spoken word, it revisits a slower, more intentional way of feeling, where words were written, held, and waited for.
