Rite de Passage II Solo 2
// creation CND
Two chaotic worlds confide in each other
One asks for initiation, the other feels vulnerable
And so silence invites itself in, breath arrives
One address and movement appears
Percussive music summons the sacred
A series of tremors, slow motions, bursts
Punctuate space taken up
Meech’s blaze makes way for Onomo family history
Shed skin, allow oneself to
Let go in the celebration
The rite of passage takes shape step by step
Invites sharing an experience of the shift
With age-old gestures that intertwine
With the body’s present cry
Shadow and light deploy delicately
An in-between world
Of life and death,
Of visible and invisible,
Of standstill and liberation
