Elsewhere in India

Synopsis

A live cinema performance about a world where global cultures are nearing extinction. The protagonists are led by Meenakshi, a ‘cultural cyborg’ built to preserve Indian heritage and create harmony through Indian performative traditions. The immersive visuals consist of 3D video games, AI art and motion captured dance, while presenting an anthology of stories from India in 2079 AD, following a motley crew who playfully connect heritage, science and society through the lens of emergent Indian electro-classical dance music.
