Memento Forest — katami serves to nurture the connections with loved ones after they have passed through the objects, memories, people, and places left behind. As grieving processes in Japan are often both personal and communal through various rituals and practices, the intergenerational collaboration and performance serves as a grieving process, enriching communal acts of sharing, and collective healing. Reflecting on a continuity and ephemerality of life and family, the multimedia dance creation cultivates a sense of lightness, opening space for release and renewed communal ties.
