OKIHANA -A Tea Ceremony and Audio Visual Performance-

【OKIHANA】

OKIHANA is an interactive performance where tea, koto (a traditional Japanese instrument), electronic music, and visual programming resonate together.

This special tea ceremony is inspired by the shared aesthetic found in both the Japanese tea ceremony and music:

he aesthetics of placement -- a sensitivity to what is placed, where, and how, within space and time.

At the venue, guests are welcomed with tea and sweets prepared by a tea practitioner.
Live koto performance unfolds alongside sound and visual compositions created through electronic music and programming.
A bar by CICON will also be available at the venue.

As the performance unfolds, the presence and actions of the audience themselves subtly influence the shifting soundscape and imagery, making each moment unique.

By unfolding the sensibility that lives within the tea room into a temporal landscape of sound and image, OKIHANA explores what kind of "flower" may bloom when different forms of placement are brought onto the same plane.
We invite you to experience this fleeting moment firsthand.
