About The Event
Inspired by kintsugi—the art of mending fractures with gold—this cross-disciplinary performance traces cycles of rupture, repetition, and repair, asking what it means to carry history forward while continually reshaping the self. Music and movement unfold in a live, responsive dialogue, where composition and improvisation blur and each performer meets the others in real time, building a shared language of fracture and renewal.
