World Premiere of elrow’s new theme, Bhūtarāh

On Saturday 6th June, elrow and [UNVRS] will present the world premiere of Bhūtarāh, the new theme from elrow and Dan Popper.

Taking place as part of the 2026 Opening Party for elrow’s Saturday night residency, Bhūtarāh is a new world that comes to life between the physical and the mythical.

The name Bhūtarāh, derived from Sanskrit, defines the essence of the concept. Bhūta represents the fundamental elements of nature, while rāh evokes radiating energy. Together, they form an ancestral entity, a guardian intelligence that exists between the visible and the invisible. More than a theme, Bhūtarāh is a living organism where matter transforms into experience and nature becomes conscious.

At the heart of this universe stands the Mother of the Forest, a monumental figure embodying the soul of the world, merging body, roots and branches into a single entity. Surrounding her, the Artemis Cats represent nourishment and abundance, while forest spirits inspired by Kodama inhabit the space as manifestations of balance and vital energy. The scenographic journey unfolds as an inner experience, where two colossal hands define the entrance to this realm, one offering protection and the other invitation, guiding visitors through a sensory landscape that mirrors emotional and collective transformation.

Internationally renowned for his monumental sculptures, Dan Popper has developed a distinctive artistic language where the human figure, organic elements and a spiritual dimension transform spaces into living architectures. His work has been showcased at some of the world’s most influential festivals, including Afrikaburn, Boom Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival and Electric Forest, where his creations function as portals, stages and large scale immersive environments. In Bhūtarāh, this vision merges with elrow’s creative universe, creating a theme where art is not only observed, but experienced and activated by the audience.

This never-before-seen adventure requires a high-octane soundtrack, and elrow have assembled an unmissable lineup of the scene’s best selectors, including Italian techno don, Marco Faraone, expert vibe-crafter Luciano, the 90s influenced house of Manda Moor and elrow stalwart Bastian Bux.

Don’t miss the world premiere of Bhūtarāh at the elrow Opening Party, Saturday 6th June at [UNVRS]. Tickets and VIP bookings are live now.
