METAMORPHOSE: THE ODYSSEY OF THE SELF

COUCOU INTERNATIONAL ENTERTAINMENT INC. AND PARTNERS PRESENT GAHWA TIME’S Metamorphose: The Odyssey of the Self.

Step beyond comfort zones into an intimate gathering of music, art, and shared discovery — a circle where presence is cultivated, knowledge exchanged, and the odyssey of belonging begins.

Metamorphose is that intimate movement where we shed our skin, where we discover ourselves anew — stronger, truer.

But every transformation, however beautiful it may be, remains incomplete if it does not find its echo within a community — within a welcoming space that recognizes and amplifies this new self.

This is where Belonging comes in: the deep feeling of being part of, of being connected to something greater than oneself.

Together, Metamorphose and Belonging form a virtuous circle: we transform in order to better find our place, and it is by finding our place that we gain the strength to keep transforming.

Metamorphosis transforms the being, while belonging turns the journey into an encounter.
