Sing the Thread, Move the Memory

Ritual is a hybrid theatre work where music, fashion, and dance intertwine, honoring the shared act of knowledge creation across cultures.

Inspired by the timeless passing of wisdom from one generation to the next, the production unfolds as a living process. Real-time sewing, handcrafting, and vocal improvisation emerge before the audience, shaped by multiple languages and extended techniques. The sound world is woven from ritualistic gestures, layered textures, and sustained, resonant drones, inviting listeners into a space of deep attention and transformation.
