Cannibalised car pak shift to the loft Till: March 3, 10 am to 6 pm Where: The Loft, New Mahalaxmi Silk Mills, Mathuradas Mills Compound, Senapati Bapat Marg, Lower Parel. Call: 30401666 Think about it: what does owning a car mean to you? While some of us might spend a huge chunk of our lives ensconced in one, for a few others it's a fetish, an escape route or may be even an aspirationu00a0-- like it remains for 92% of Lahore's ten million people, who don't even own a car. Automaton Love, a project by Pakistani artists Ayesha Jatoi, Mehreen Murtaza and David Chalmers Alesworth, and curated by Murtaza and Umer Butt, gets you everyone's ultimate object of desire, through some rather gruesome imagery as "the majority of drivers are unschooled, unlicensed, and totally fatalistic", as described by these guys. Check out a sprawling market of "cannibalised" cars' images up on display. Au00a0song and dance of the classical kind On: Today, 6.30 pm Where: Experimental Theatre, NCPA, Nariman Point. Call: 66223737 Entry: Rs 200 and Rs 300 Classical dance and music, often regarded as structured in terms of experimentation and creativity, will see that stereotype changing on stage today. Carnatic vocalist Aruna Sairam and Bharatanatyam dancer Priyadarsini Govind come together for a recital, Brindavani Venu: The Magic Flute, for the first time ever. Sairam, who has made Carnatic music popular in Europe, has developed a distinctive style, rooted in tradition and at the same time, open to influences from other fields. Govind, whose abhinaya (art of expression) is no less fascinating then her nritta (abstract dance for the sake of its own beauty), is one of the foremost Bharatanatyam dancers of the current generation. Of Psychedelic walls and music that will blow your mind On: Today and tomorrow, 10 pm onwards Where: Zenzi Mills, Todi Mills, Senapati Bapat Marg, Lower Parel (W). When you go dancing at Zenzi Mills today or tomorrow, it won't be just the music that will transport you to a different zone altogether. The dance floor is not where most of the action is going to take place, anyway. Wall of the VJs, a two-day festival that kicks off tonight, will see 5 VJ (Visual Jockey) collectives and 12 VJs who will be mixing and manipulating 3D images, digital art, photos, graphics and even live video and projecting them in sync with the music. The floor, ceiling, 20 screens, mosquito nets and even you u2014 now, that is where the real is going to take place. When the police share notes with something relevant On: Tomorrow at 5.30 pm Where: Hanging Gardens Bandstand, Malabar Hill. You might have heard stories from your grandma about how they traipsed to the bandstand every weekend in the good ole days of the Raj. Probably swaying along a picnic basket, they listened to regimental bands belt out their music. Now, tell your grandma that this is how you will be spending your Saturdays over the next few months too. In a bid to revive the extinct bandstand culture, The Bombay Chamber of Commerce &amp; Industry has partnered with the Bombay Elektrik Projekt for open-air performances that take place every Saturday till the end of May. This weekend, cheer on as musicians from the Mumbai Police band, sharply dressed in bright, red uniforms and shiny buttons, share the stage with the easygoing jam band Something Relevant, or STR as they're popularly known on the gig cicruit. "We start by playing patriotic songs," says Police Band conductor S B Singh. The band will then be joined on stage by the seven-member STR to play out four to five songs, followed by a performance by STR. "The military genre of music is such that no one really experiments with it and that's why this collaboration is different," says STR bassist Stuart DaCosta. Experience how music seamlessly blends different worlds, from the disciplined, practiced strains of the police to the carefree, young vibe of STR, while you revel in the great outdoors and watch the sun go down.
