A Little Magic. A Beautiful Commotion.
Drag the star to turn it
This page opens for one name at a time. Nothing here is for sale, and nothing here is announced.
You are invited to RUMPUS!, one night of house music and art in Surat, for a list short enough to read aloud.
The records are played the long way. The art looks back at you. The room is full of people you will be glad you met in the dark.
Leave your rules at the door. If it finds you, you’ll know.
Kiara
Press the seal, Riya, and your name is held.
One invitation. One name.Your invitation carries a single star. Give it to one person, by first name. They come in on your word.
A star is held for .
It stays behind the curtain until 22 December. Then it travels quietly, and only to the people who said yes.
Say yes, and it will find you. Return to your invitation
The way in. A corridor that looks back, and has already picked you out of the queue.
Sit down, choose your sounds, and be told who you become after midnight.
Afro house, baile funk, disco funk, groovy house. Low light, no screens, and Kiara in the booth until the room is done.
The morning after. The photographs and the recording of the set, sent only to the people who were in them.
Kiara played her first show in Surat, in October 2017. The years since have been clubs and festivals, one booth after another. RUMPUS! is all of that coming back to where it began, for the people who were part of the journey. Surat is the first chapter. Ten cities follow.
Three sounds, one material. The Fortune Teller does the rest.
Your card is face down
Four stations for the hours leading up to it. Start with the first while you get ready. Save the last for when you can see the queue.
Getting ready, in disco funk
There are four rules. After that, leave your rules at the door.
