there’s a thousand ways to go home again”

“Baithak” in South Asian tradition refers to “a sit-down gathering”—it is a musical performance in an intimate environment where musicians perform in close proximity to the audience. At the 59 Rivoli, the traditional baithak was re-contextualised to contemporary times. Guests were served drinks that mixed tea and South Asian perfumes (cardamom, jasmine, etc.) with standard alcoholic beverages. Baithak music performance started and the audience was invited to sit down and enjoy the music for an hour.@59 Rivoli, Paris 75001 | August 2023
