The crowd gathers as the performer arranges clusters of candles on the floor, inviting spectators to participate in a ritual of lighting and moving through darkness. A text posted on the wall sets the ritual’s guidelines. The performer sits as participants mark her body with the residue of burning candles. When the crowd disperses, the performer remains, embodying the final trace of the light.
