Qiming Sezava Sun:
Stems from his cultural heritage and spiritual practice, Qiming Sun's performance piece "Ancestral Tea • Dance of Phantoms " draws inspiration from ancient tea ceremonies and the enigmatic shamanic traditions of the Yi and Nakhi tribes of Southwest China. Sun's performance incorporates ritualistic dances, sounds, visuals, and aromatic scents, featuring dynamic and multi-sensorial means for the audience to engage with artifacts and spirits in a ceremonial manner.
