Cancellation Ceremony Series
Performance 2024

With superstitions, humans feel helpless that they cannot ignore them. I created the rituals to cancel these superstitions as a way to counter these invisible controls. I devised a way for humans to use and dismantle superstitions by introducing new superstitious narratives along with existing superstitions.
