While standing the centre of Adavi’s world, where there is no right or wrong, where there are no rigid boundaries, no rules or conventions, the answer reveals itself: celebration is protest, and protest is celebration. Celebration and protest are not merely parts of life—they are life itself. Just as a heartbeat begins at birth and pulses until the end, Parai music lives alongside it. Even as the heart stops at death, the Parai continues to resonate. Through Parai, we share the stories passed down across generations, recounting how this musical instrument evolved—from birth and rituals to caste, landscapes, and death—ultimately becoming a voice of liberation against oppression. We ask, who truly owns this music? Parai’s essence is equality. There is no separation here; Parai belongs to everyone. Even the line between audience and performer dissolves. In this space, all are performers. We bring you this tool of equality. We bring you the stories and songs of Parai as a shared performance. Artists: Naren, Veeramani, Rajasekar, Arputhan, Meghana, Jayapriya, Charun, Anush, Vanishree, Nandan, Ram
