The Aurea Terra Project, initiated by composer Prach Boondiskulchok, is an artistic investigation of the Piphat musical traditions through historically informed lens, but with an eye towards a 'de-orientalized' synthesis with European contemporary art music. This performance presents a work-in-progress piece based on the Burmese-inspired Thai song  Burmese Dance of the Blades (พม่ารำขวาน), and marks the project’s first residency in Bangkok, jointly hosted by PGVIM and the Goethe-Institut Thailand.
