Ways of Being Together_A Documentary on Quantum, Ritual and Future Community

This documentary was filmed on the day of the Hangzhou presentation of Quantum, Ritual and Future Community. The camera follows the creative team through rehearsals, shared meals, installation, and preparations before the performance. Through conversations with the participating artists, the film gradually unfolds the conceptual origins, working methods, and relational structure behind this interdisciplinary project. Rather than focusing solely on the final performance, the film also turns its attention to what happens before the work takes shape: how bodies are organised, how sound and image enter the space, how artists from different backgrounds respond to one another through collaboration, and how abstract ideas such as “quantum,” “ritual,” and “community” gradually take form through concrete acts of working together, sensing, and being together. Moving between performance and everyday life, discussion and action, the documentary captures a fragment of a work in the making. It also records how, through a brief yet intensive period of collective practice, connections gradually emerge among the artists involved.
