The title of the performance is composed of the words ”floral wreath” in the three native languages of the performers. It refers to a ceramic object traditionally placed on graves in cemeteries.

Performers shared a collective diary-writing practice and an individual praying practice during the weeks of preparing the performance. Exploring how individual and collective experiences intertwine in the dance, they shift between the personal and the shared, between closed and open eyes, and between realities.

What kind of wreath of prayers is created by their shared writings and through movement and their voice?
