BATSUMI - A Dirge for the left behind (Kucheza Festival)

Batsumi: A Dirge for the Left Behind |x'ôake

!haekx'aoku, explores migration, absence, and resilience through the metaphor of the hunter—men who leave home to “hunt” for survival in the cities. At its heart are the women left behind, carrying the weight of memory, loneliness, and daily struggle.
 
Through dance, live music, and poetry, including the haunting Ache of Absence—the work gives voice to silence, mourning absence while celebrating resilience. Batsumi is both a lament and a testament to enduring love and the quiet strength of women who sustain life in the face of longing.
