White Tea is a complex, multi-layered piece of visual theatre in which the audience wear white paper kimonos and drink white tea as they sit within a cocoon of paper prayer flags and origami birds.

White Tea takes its influences from Japanese minimalism, Kakuzo Okakura’s one-hundred-year-old Book of Tea, Sei Shonagan's one-thousand-year-old Pillow Book and the artwork of Yoko Ono.
