This isn’t Thai classical dance as we’ve seen it, encased in gold leaf and museum glass. It’s a ritual reimagined for the touchscreen era, where the sacred arrives not on a pedestal but through augmented reality, virtual shrines and audience whispers typed into phones. What if worship no longer needed incense or temple bells? What if a dancer could carry your wish to the divine like a courier of intention, moving not for spectacle but for meaning? Mali Bucha rewires the idea of dance as offering. Each night becomes its own negotiation – between the human and the digital, the performer and the unseen. No two evenings repeat. It’s ritual, but alive, responsive and unsettlingly intimate. August 15-16. Free. Chulalongkorn University, 8pm
