Mystery:

A Mystery is defined as something that is difficult or impossible to understand or explain. When I think about mystery I think about the unknown, the surprisings and the unseen.. what does “Mystery” mean to you?

After setting 2026 up for success with a beautiful prayer, for our next show in 2026 ITAI is hosting the colorful and fantastical due known as Mystical Joyride.

In an experimental and mysterious “Swanning" show that never happend before and will never happen again... 🎶♥️ 🦢

✨ Mystical Joyride 🛸🎤 🔮 💚

is a genre-fluid, psychedelic world-pop band - where the spiritual meets the ratchet. They turn rooms into joyful choirs with live instruments, heavy rhythm, and sing-along hooks; ecstatic, playful, and deeply communal.

✨ ITAI 🎷🎹

📵 The Dance floor is a “No Phone Zone”: we record the sessions and take some snippets so you don’t have to, stay in the moment, and we will lyk where you can find some fun shots later.

💬 You are part of the experience, please dance, scream, sing...

***If you want to add an instrument please coordinate in advance and get the OK

🤫 Let’s keep deep conversations off the dancing areas... It’s not meant to be a “no talking” environment and most people are trying to connect with the music in a non-verbal way. A great place for deeper conversations is the Tea Lounge (:

The Tea Lounge 🫖

As The Tea Lounge becomes an inseparable part of The Residency's cozy season.

With special "tea guest" this time around!!!

Tea Lounge opens at 8pm, please join us for a cup of tea and a hang...

***As some of you might know, our regular server and fam' Marqese, is in the hospital, recovering from spine surgery. We believe that they have been poorly mistreated, and we have put together support efforts on multiple levels. If you have it in you to contribute, or share, anything helps! and THANK YOU!

The Story of The Residency:

From ITAI: "This new season of The Residency is about intimacy and presence. Most weeks, we’ll feature one very special guest artist, sitting across from me as we create the soundtrack for the night from scratch.

A concept I like calling "Swanning": Like two swans facing each other in a moment of deep connection, this allows us to share and respond, creating something raw, alive, and unrepeatable. In this format, the audience surrounds the face-to-face artists which forms a circle that makes everyone part of the experience. Step into the circle (:

The Zula Den:

The Zula Den is a subsidiary of the non-profit Zula Project which is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt charitable organization.

The Zula Den was created to hold space for our facilitators and their guests, our artists and their music, our teachers and their students…

Founded by husband & wife duo Eldad Alfi (@eldadalfi) and Chris Santillan (@chriss2385)
