IS/LAND invite the audience to witness a transformation and transcendence ceremony. Forming rolls of colorful Hanji mulberry paper into shapes and pathways of wisdom, knowledge, and memory; the movement of the dancers offers improvised ‘rituals’ as communal gestures of solace and transmutation, ultimately creating a restorative healing space for both the audience and performers.
