TUAPUTIH — An immersive, interactive installation-performance exploring containment not as limitation, but as a portal to inner magic. The body became a vessel. Stillness became activation. The audience completed the work.

​

Created in collaboration with Asser Saint Val, the piece was shaped through shared conceptual development and realized through full improvisation. Saint Val's custom installation was designed in dialogue with my body and movement vocabulary, functioning as both environment and collaborator.

​

The primary interactive element unfolded through subtle movement and live, abstract conversation: speaking to patrons through an audio system from within the vessel itself. Voice became bridge. Intimacy emerged through truth and perception. Each exchange altered the energetic architecture of the space.
