Rehearsal for Encountering

"It is said that salt can stay in the sea for two hundred and sixty million years."

Rehearsal For Encountering looks into the moment of intercultural contact between the Asian indentured laborers and the enslaved people from Africa, who were coerced or tricked into laboring in plantations in the Caribbean in the 19th century. The film is structured with footage taken during a research trip to Cuba, accompanied by interwoven theoretical writings.
