A one-night audiovisual performance blending electronic music, digital art and live discussion will be staged on 28 March, offering audiences a narrative set in a speculative future.
Titled Elsewhere in India, the event brings together music, visual storytelling and performance in a programme that runs for just under three hours, beginning with a DJ set and ending with a live discussion featuring the artists.
The show is centred on a fictional world set in 2079, following a cyborg activist named Meenakshi who is tasked with preserving cultural memory. The narrative is delivered through a mix of electronica, generative visuals, game-based environments and classical performance elements.
The evening opens with Melbourne-based DJ Brown Suga Princess, whose set draws on diasporic bass, footwork and jungle influences. The main performance follows, led by Indian electronic artist Murthovic and visual artist Thiruda, who have developed the project as a collaboration combining music production and immersive digital design.
Murthovic’s work has focused on electronic composition shaped by global and traditional influences, while Thiruda is known for building visual environments using game engines and generative tools. Together, the pair have positioned the project within what they describe as “Indofuturism”, a concept that reimagines cultural narratives through speculative futures.
The performance also features live improvisation by bansuri player Vinod Prasanna, whose contributions are intended to add a classical and human element to the otherwise digital setting.
A post-show discussion will follow, hosted by arts curator Amrit Gill, who will interview the creators about the ideas and processes behind the work.
The project has previously been linked to international cultural collaborations, including the India/UK Season of Culture 2022–23, and is co-produced with UK-based transmedia group Crossover Labs.
The full programme begins with doors opening at 4.30 pm, followed by the DJ set, a short interval, the main performance, and a Q&A session before concluding at 7.30 pm.
Tickets are priced at $10 for adults, with concessions available and free entry for children under 15.

Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability.
