The Seventh Night

In Chinese tradition, the spirit of the deceased is believed to return home on the seventh night after death.

The Seventh Night is a sound-led, wordless performance that explores memory, family, and inherited trauma. Through layers of sound, movement, costume interaction and spatial intervention, the work moves between different temporalities — the past, the present, and the stories that remain unspoken.

Some truths are buried.
Some echoes never disappear.
