Event Description

An immersive techno-ritual unlike any other. Join us for a performance by Dominique Savitri Bonarjee as she presents “How to Dream a Rasa Machine,” a sensuous journey into sound, movement, and the subtle energies of our world. Structured as an electrifying jam session, blending electronic and acoustic textures with embodied dance, this performance is deeply inspired by the intricacies of Indian rasa. At its heart lies a handcrafted copper sound suit, a revolutionary instrument that translates the performer’s every motion and environmental nuances – gravity, air, humidity – into a rich sonic landscape. In Indian aesthetics, rasa refers to the spiritual pleasure of deep immersion in experience. Here, the audience encounters rasa through the sensuous materiality of the instrument, and a spectral soundscape that induces a collective dream-space. This is followed by ‘Butoh, as Heard by a Dancer’, book presentation.
