Stepping into a silent desolate field Dressed in blessings from mother earth
The spirit of nature sketched Footprints on a parched ground Swirls in dance rustling the petals of Dying flowers and leaves of trees
Reaching out to a pale moon The spirit's warm kiss embraces all existence On the planet reviving a sun's essence
History is nothing more than human evolution Traced in decomposition and rejuvenation Cultivated along winding paths where Spirit empowers even the heartbeat of the earth Repainting the drone of monotonous undertone Into vibrant harmonies unfamiliar yet known
Chi (地-earth) Seki (跡-trace) In celebration makes a Tangible incarnation of earthy ensemble Like stars strung by lightening that chime and hum In delicate breeze pleasantry
Join us as we immortalize life through Performance, art/installation and sound Rooted in the movement of nature Creating space for the Blossoming spring within
