✨ Bittersweet: An Immersive Art Experience ✨
Step into a living, breathing ceremony of art, sound, and spirit. Bittersweet is more than a performance—it’s a journey through memory, ancestry, and transformation.
🕖 Doors: 4:30 PM | 🎶 Music Begins: 5:00 PM
📍1750 Belleview Ave, 2nd Floor, Kansas City, MO
🎟️ Tickets: $50 | cash or Venmo at the door
Move with us through four powerful chapters: Grief, Wisdom, Thanks, and Ascension—each one honoring the full arc of ancestry. Together, we’ll mourn those who’ve passed, carry forward their lessons, offer gratitude, and embrace who we are becoming.
This immersive experience weaves together live music, poetry, and painting—all unfolding alongside a thoughtfully curated tea ceremony. Throughout the evening, tea will be served as a grounding ritual, inviting you to slow down, open your senses, and connect more deeply with each moment. Each pour is intentional—rooted in tradition, reflection, and presence—creating space for warmth, healing, and quiet connection among guests.
🍵 The tea itself becomes part of the story: a gentle guide through each chapter, offering comfort in grief, clarity in wisdom, sweetness in gratitude, and lightness in ascension.
Come as you are. Witness. Feel. Remember.
Created in collaboration with Trevor Turla, Calvin Arsenia, Zach Arias, Melissa Ferrer, Dr. Poet Sanders, Noel Turla, and Tian Tea House.
✨ A shared space of reflection—for those who came before, and those yet to come. ✨
♿Greenwood Social Hall is located on the second floor of a historic building and unfortunately does not have an ADA-accessible entrance. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
