# Music, Installation

An impromptu emotional journey in music

Inspired by Untitled Event at Black Mountain College, this performance features music, lighting, installation and dance. It combines avant-garde composer John Cage's Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano with projection mapping and dancers'body languages, offering a journey to open the doors of perception and experience the rasas in Indian aesthetics, namely the Erotic, the Comic, the Pathetic, the Furious, the Heroic, the Terrible, the Odious and the Wondrous. After savouring these eight rasas, we may experience the ninth – the Tranquil.
