Film Screening and Movement Workshop

Film Synopsis : Depart & Arrive

Each milestone in life presents a chance to depart from existing viewpoints and arrive at a renewed standpoint. This autobiographical travelogue portrays the artist’s attempt to (re)align the self with his environment, awakening his connection with all things.

A rhythmic counterpoint between Man, Kite and Wind, resounding an existential contemplation.
