Trace of Transient Encounters



Echoing the profound meaning of the Chinese idiom 萍水相逢 (píngshuǐxiāngféng) — meeting by chance, like two ripples briefly intersecting in a flowing stream, this interactive experience invites the audience to engage in a contemplative exploration of the connections we encounter in our fast-paced lives. 

During the performance, Maya engages organically with the audience, emphasising the spontaneous nature of these interactions. Each interaction produces a tangible object, symbolising the momentary inter-human connection. 

In the finale, Maya shares and interacts with these objects and audiences in an improvisational manner, opening a conversation on the meaning of these transient encounters.
