From a pit of welled sadness and anger, 'Sanctuary' delves into the story of what it means to grapple with the pain that resides in systemic dysfunction. It chronicles the process of finding comfort in the bodily self after traumas, tragedies, and struggles a person experiences in dysfunctional family systems.'Sanctuary' is not just a performance ritual but a transformative journey to alchemize the grief from our familial lineages. It is part autobiography, part collective healing, and a dynamic tool for finding refuge within and for the self. The deep work of uprooting the maligned stories and beliefs from the oral histories we carry is communicated through a grieving process of what could have been towards what can be. When the mental and spiritual selves disentangle from generational trauma, the body becomes a sanctuary instead of a scorekeeper.
