Set within a historic Goan building, Razai is a multidisciplinary performance that fuses AI-generated music, projection-mapped visuals, and contemporary dance into a sensory and living tapestry. Drawing from both European and Indian sonic traditions, this avant-garde piece traces the intimate journey of a couple on the margins of an ever-shifting city — navigating nostalgia, displacement, desire, and dreams.
Created through a collaboration between artists from India, Italy, and Japan, it’s a performative intervention where architecture, technology, and human presence coalesce into one evolving sensorial journey — blurring the lines between art and life, remembered, lived and imagined.
During and beyond show hours, the venue transforms into an interactive installation, where audiences move from observers to participants, engaging with responsive environments shaped by cutting-edge AI and sensory technologies.
