"Elsewhere in India" is a visionary audiovisual electronica performance set in a future where global cultures are on the brink of extinction. The narrative centers on Meenakshi, a cultural cyborg designed to preserve Indian heritage and foster harmony through traditional Indian performing arts. The project is an amalgamation of 3D video games, AI-generated art, motion-captured dance, and an anthology of futuristic stories from India set in 2079 AD. It creatively intertwines heritage, science, and society through the lens of emerging Indian electro-classical dance music.
