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 performance and rare archival footage, it portrays the liminal moment between one phase of life and another, when we confront our desires, fears and hidden truths in the quest of a new direction. It is an invitation to embark on a visceral yet reflective journey that asks: what happens in the passage from one state to another? How are we constructed through such acts of becoming? How does the body react to the sometimes violent nature of change? Rite of Passage is perhaps a metaphor for life, with its suffering and celebration through which we are perpetually reborn and transformed, blessed with infinite possibilities of being.
