Meera Patel: Attuning
South Asia Now
Join Hopper on a transformative journey to Tanmaatra – an alternative world brought to life through a dynamic, live, and interactive experience. Guided by Tanmaatra’s inhabitants, you’ll move through the elements of rock, water, air, and light in an immersive, multisensory exploration that reimagines and expands the possibilities of Indian classical dance and music.
Here the performance is no longer confined to the visual but an embodied, tactile, and sonic encounter.
