A New Chapter
Michael “Mykel” Dicus
U.S. Cultural Liaison to Their Highnesses
In September 2026, Eec! Productions founder Michael “Mykel” Dicus was formally appointed U.S. Cultural Liaison to Their Highnesses by the Royal Establishment of Hanumanteshwar, with the approval of His Royal Highness Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil of Rajpipla and His Highness Prince DeAndre, Duke of Hanumanteshwar.
The appointment recognizes Mykel's longstanding friendship, trusted support, cultural engagement, introductions and commitment to strengthening meaningful relationships throughout the United States.

In this role, Mykel supports cultural introductions, special engagements, relationship-building and appropriate liaison activities on behalf of Their Highnesses within the United States.
The appointment represents the continuation of a relationship already built through years of collaboration between the United States and India.
Broadway to Bombay
One of the most significant expressions of that collaboration has been Broadway to Bombay, created by Mykel and developed with Prince Manvendra and Prince DeAndre.
The project grew from conversations beginning in 2014 about how creative expression could build bridges between LGBTQ+ communities in the United States and India.
Through flag dancing, movement, storytelling and facilitated conversation, Broadway to Bombay created spaces for participants to explore identity, emotion and community while sharing LGBTQ+ cultural expression across borders.

Workshops and cultural activities included appearances associated with Rajvant Palace, Alliance Française, the Statue of Unity region and the LGBTQ+ community campus at Hanumanteshwar.

Together, the New Jersey and New York events reflected the broader direction of the work: combining performance, film, LGBTQ+ storytelling, public conversation and cultural exchange within a single touring experience.
From Cultural Exchange to Film
Pieces of Us
The relationships surrounding Broadway to Bombay also became part of the documentary Pieces of Us.
Eec! Productions served as one of the film’s production companies, with Mykel participating both as a producer and as a subject.
