About the party

The "Meridian" evening at the Purple Dragon Tea Theatre brings music and tea ceremony together. The anonymous musician TRIBVLIST will play a mystical performance on an Iranian instrument. A master of the Japanese tea ceremony from the Toryu school in the Omotesenke tradition, Tomiko (@tomiko.japanese.tea.master), will prepare matcha in a traditional chagama kettle. The ceremony takes place in silence. The night ends with the sound of the Japanese shamisen. A ceremony ticket costs 10 000 tenge, and spots must be booked via DM at @tea.dragon.art.
