It has the capacity to become a rage as the newest trend in the party circuit hits Mumbai. The city is gearing up to introduce what is already a rage internationally — silent disco. Sounds weird, right? But party people are being taken in by their curiosity as they rush to figure out the new disco theme that’s trending.
Mumbai will feature a special evening using wireless headsets to create a silent disco effect; this new concept is a rage in international festivals and is being introduced here as the year of Germany in India. The silent disco event is going to be a part of a three-city Indo-German music conference and festival. One of the organisers Dr Marla Stukenberg Director of Goethe-Institut/ Max Mueller Bhavan, Mumbai, says, “The idea is to bring the best of electronic music from three music centres of Germany (Berlin, Cologne, Hamburg) to connect with the scene in three Indian cities (Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru) in a conceptually interesting and innovative way. We would be able to have performances of electronic music in the heart of the city without disturbing anyone. Is that not great?”
The silent disco theme has been specially designed to take care of the environment. “When we were in the process of deciding on the programming for the event at Cross Maidan, we realised that the biggest challenge would be to make it environmentally friendly. At that point our partner came up with the idea of a silent concert.
As you are aware, Cross Maidan falls under the silent zone of the city, therefore a silent concert lets the audience experience the environment of a concert or a club with same lights and music, the only difference being that they have to wear a headset. This allows them to enjoy the music without disturbing anyone or creating any kind of noise pollution. This way we would be able to present best of electronic music in the most environmentally and culturally friendly way,” Dr Stukenberg adds.
