This work-in-progress was developed as an intimate, one-hour performance set within a traditional Lotud house in Tuaran, Sabah, in collaboration with Tang Sook Kuan. Drawing from the idea of ritual as a shared human practice, the work explored the body as a vessel of attention, endurance, and presence rather than a representation of any specific belief system. Within a close and limited space, performers engaged in structured improvisation using symbolic materials such as a woven tikar mat, water, incense, bells, gongs, and blindfolds. These objects functioned not as ritual tools, but as “material companions” that guided movement, sound, and sensory awareness. The proximity between performers and audience created a heightened state of witnessing, where subtle actions, breath, and physical effort became central. The work sought to open a space for reflection on spirituality beyond religion, grounded in the lived experience of the body, the environment, and the shared act of being present together.
