You know a song is good when the comments section below its video is an outpouring of memories — even years after its release. That's the effect Leonard Cohen's Dance Me to the End of Love has. With a gorgeous video directed by Dominique Isserman, the song pretty much feels like waltzing with the idea of love. And deep-diving into that very theme, is a play co-written by Mahesh Dattani and Avantika Shankar that will be staged this Sunday at the National Centre of the Performing Arts (NCPA), in collaboration with Playpen Performing Arts Trust. And it's named after Cohen's song, too.

The rehearsals began in early May last year with the first performance being held at someone's home. Shankar had been part of Dattani's workshop years ago.
