At the culmination of this transformative journey, we will come together to orchestrate a truly unique experience: a lecture performance night nestled within the enchanting embrace of a forest. This ethereal setting will serve as the backdrop for a captivating celebration of ephemeral and dematerialized art, where the boundaries between performer and audience blur and the essence of the moment reigns supreme. ​In the depths of the forest, amidst whispered secrets and moonlit shadows, we gather for a night of ephemeral artistry—voices rising, bodies moving, in a celebration of the fleeting magic that exists only in the present moment.
