In a mysteriously abandoned house, a body dances its memories...
Rite of Passage is a sensory exploration of the act of becoming, of transformation and the search for one’s identity. An experimental film featuring improvised Butoh dance and re-contextualized archival footage, it invites us to embark on a visceral and reflective journey about our relationship with memory and heritage.
What binds us to the past? What are our own private rites of passage? How can the body express the sometimes violent nature of change?
