About Passage

Every summer, Torn Space enacts a ritual, via a mythical society, to celebrate what has been metaphorically cultivated familially, socially, and globally. This year, the society invites you to open the ceremony with an intimate auditory experience, allowing you to engage in public ritual on an individual level.

Passage is a personal performance piece; choose the time of day you find most beautiful to experience it. This is a solitary experience; while you may travel with another person you should stay within your own space. Seek out a beautiful location. Maybe it’s a park, the open streets or your own backyard. If you can’t be outdoors choose a quiet, comfortable place in your home. You may sit still or move through space. The experience lasts 30 minutes. Sound provides the entrance; access the sound through the best means possible. When on your journey consider transitions and the passage of time. You are the ceremony. This is the ritual. Witness the reawakening.

Because I know that time is always time
And place is always and only place
And what is actual is actual only for one time
And only for one place

– TS Eliot
