THE RADIANCE




SHOW SYNOPSIS

The Radiance originated from a stilt-creature created by Flam Chen in 2004, dubbed the Kokapi. The show, made in collaboration with African drum troupe, Dambe Project, was an exploration of the animal; its biology, environment, and mythos. Conceptually, Radiance is a ritual-culling to the Kokapi, introducting audiences to the creature's world and its inhabitants.
