Chapter 1 of 10An invite-only house music and art night by Kiara
Scroll. Every room is live: move through it, touch it, it keeps time.
02The invitation
RUMPUS! is one night of house music and art, built by Kiara for the people who have been part of her story in Surat. You are one of them.
There is no queue to join and no name to drop. Come to dance, come to stare, come to be stared at. Leave your rules at the door.
K.
Your invitation is waiting for an answer.
03The venue · Locked
Revealed 22 December to those who said yes.
Say yes to be told
04The night
Four rooms. One night.
A dark corridor of light that watches you arrive. Every eye follows. Stare back; they like it.
Three sounds, one material, one card with your name in it. It is rarely wrong about how you dance.
Turn the disc. It has something to tell you.
Afro house, baile funk, disco funk, groovy house. Kiara on the decks and the whole room in her hands, until the lights give up.
The morning after. The photographs and the full recording of the set, sent only to the people who were in the room.
05Kiara
First show · Surat · October 2017
Kiara played her first show in Surat in October 2017.
Since then it has been years of clubs and festivals, one dance floor after another. RUMPUS! is her bringing all of it home, for the people who were there at the start.
Ten cities follow. Surat goes first.

07The warm-up · Now playing
Four stations for the hours before the door. Put one on while you get ready. The wall behind this page is made of sequins; it is screening Kiara's set, and it moves on every kick of whatever you choose.
08Before you come
Chrome, sequins, velvet, neon. If it catches the light, it is correct. Beige can stay home.
The time is written there, and only there. So is everything else you need.
We will take the photographs. You take the night. The Afterglow brings you the rest.
It does not grow at the door. If you hold a star, pass it before the night.
