Synopsis:

Midnight Congee 夜粥 is a journey of self-reflection and cultural identity is a deeply personal video and performance piece that delves into the complex emotions of a newcomer, grappling with displacement from their home country. As the clock strikes midnight, a restless mind stirs, plagued by insomnia and haunted by dreams that seem to echo the turmoil of emotions within. In an attempt to find solace and perhaps a connection to the place one left behind. Congee serves as a tangible link to one’s cultural root, a comforting reminder of home in the midst of uncertainty and loneliness.
