About the event
Electric komungo performer and Guggenheim Composer Fellow Jin Hi Kim created ‘A Ritual for Covid-
19’ in memory of 400,000 deaths in the USA and 2 million deaths worldwide during the pandemic. The work, inspired by Korean Shamanistic ssitkimkut ritual, purifies the deceased spirit while releasing the grief of survivors. Kim creates a live interactive performance on the world’s only electric komungo as she presents a range of projected images reflective of the coronavirus pandemic. A community processional enters the performance space where a 100-yard white cloth is symbolically used in a shaman ritual to release grief. This performance is in the spirit of healing of the apocalyptic years of 2020-21 and was created in collaboration with media artist Benton C Bainbridge and videographer Dustin DeMilio.
