Amidst the high intensity and scorching heat of the desert festival, an oasis emerges, offering a moment of pause to the sonic journeymen. At the heart of the palace is a sacred pyramid, a temple, that hums an inviting tune, beckoning a curious hand. Suspended before each face of the pyramid, bells await—each chime unlocking a portal of introspection, inviting moments of stillness that refresh body, mind, and spirit.
Against this enigmatic form, the dwellers of the oasis perform rituals. These ceremonies - part performance, part invocation - are believed to channel energies through the pyramid, awakening it as a vessel that feeds the desert with a resonating vitality.
In collaboration with SVARAM and Ayahi, The Sound Oasis is an interactive sound installation, inviting the audience to deepen listening awareness. Sitting at the central courtyard, it gently hums—a contrasting focal point amid the vibrant festival stages. Turning itself into an immersive stage - two sound journeys as audiovisual performances provide the audience an opportunity to decompress.
