What: An-Ting @ IKLECTIK

When:

An-Ting @ IKLECTIK

Departure is a music and dance performance by movement artist Masumi Saito and composer/musician An-Ting that explores themes of death, ritual, and the spirit.

Through the intertwining of movement and live music, the performance creates an emotionally resonant experience - breaking the silence around death. Why do cultures across the world uphold long-standing funeral traditions? What can these rituals teach us about both death and life?

In Departure, Masumi Saito and An-Ting reimagine a funeral ceremony inspired by their East Asian heritages as a performance and invite the audience to join in a contemplative space. The performance is followed by a post-show discussion on death and ritual. Inspired by the ethos of Death Cafe, this conversation offers space for audiences and artists to share experiences, stories, and perspectives, exploring how traditions and collective rituals can shape the way we grieve.
