Kintsugi is a Japanese art which aims to sublimate, by means of a lacquer sprinkled with gold, the repair of a broken object. The traces of this repair then become harmonious witnesses of a past and of the object's history, thus marking its entry into a new cycle, its rebirth into the world. Kintsugi is akin to a philosophy.
Pronunciation is tricky… KINT SUE GEE… will nail it! The name is based on the Japanese cultural practice of ‘The poetic mend’ – they bring scattered objects together and bind with gold resin. The Kintsugi Singers are a very eclectic mix of people brought together by music. It seemed a fitting and unique name for us.
Cast: Kakushin Nishihara (Voice & Biwa), Serge Teyssot-Gay (Guitar), Gaspar Claus (Cello), Thomas Rabillon (Video design)
