In the interspecies encounter with the sperm whale, the interrelationships of a complex ecosystem and the basis of solidary economic coexistence manifest themselves as well as a spiritual source and connection with the ancestors, interwoven like the links of a chain where a beginning and an end can no longer be determined. Audiences are invited to immerse themselves into the tender, still, afflicted ideological rift, to breathe and dissolve into the porous and leaking bodies of water, mammals, fisherfolk, ballads, breezes and spirits, reconsidering the interdependent relationships across species and how we can (re)understand the more-than-human justice.<\/p><p><span lang=\"ZH-CN\" xml:lang=\"ZH-CN\" data-contrast=\"none\">In the ethereal setting created by Chen, Ocean Cage combines elements of installation, film and dance to create the space for the performance, in which Setyanto becomes the central protagonist in changing characters. Together with the Indonesian musicians Kadapat and Nova Ruth, a visual, dance and musical maelstrom is created in which tradition and ecology, spiritually and technology, beliefs in progress and interspecies symbiosis are whirled together.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>Get your tickets for <i>Ocean Cage <\/i>at the Asia-Europe Cultural Festival 2025\u00a0 <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.247tickets.com\/t\/ocean-cage\">here<\/a><\/span><\/strong> (EN) or by <strong>scanning the<\/strong> <strong>QR code below<\/strong> with your <strong>WeChat <\/strong>app (CN):<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e774e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8e774e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"470\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/asef.org\/aecfest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/oceancage.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-12810\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dfaa20a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"dfaa20a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f9d5119 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f9d5119\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Discover the full <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/asef.org\/aecfest\/2025edition\/\">AECFest programme<\/a><\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34fc73e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"34fc73e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b2713d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"b2713d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;hosted&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-hosted-video elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<video class=\"elementor-video\" src=\"https:\/\/videos.files.wordpress.com\/I7vUigjj\/trailer-oc1.mp4\" controls=\"\" preload=\"metadata\" controlsList=\"nodownload\"><\/video>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-222d9df e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"222d9df\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd079bc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dd079bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-contrast=\"none\"><strong>Director:<\/strong> Tianzhuo Chen<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\"><strong>Choreography &amp;
