“An Archipelagic Aeon” is an epic performance poem that meditates on modernity as a planetary, existential and spiritual condition through the mythology and metaphysics of Indianised Southeast Asia.
Blending spoken word, Butoh movement, choral vocals, and live and sampled sound, the performance conjures a phantasmagoric world populated by shapeshifting crowds, archetypes at war and archipelagos come alive, inviting audiences to watch and listen as it conjures various scenes: from forests and crowds to machines and islands, the deeply personal to the cosmic.

Biography
ArunDitha is a Eurasian-South Asian poet and performing artist whose work brings poetry to life through text, sound, and movement. Her practice explores poetry as a mechanism for reworlding—where dance, voice, and ritual converge to birth new realities. She has performed internationally at venues like TEDx Singapore, Wonderfruit, and The Watermill Center, and has published multiple poetry collections, including rib/cage. She also collaborates musically as lead vocalist in experimental projects Mantravine and Polymorphism.See their work at the Festival
