Where are we

The story happens in a fictitious world which featuring a high centralized society. People call it Times.One day, a sudden collapsing accident occurred in the Times Centre Mine. Four people, an old retiring model miner(Tom), a middle-aged boozy miner(Ben), a young highly educated technician(Danny) and a special reporter for Federal Times(Carry) are trapped in the mine waiting for rescue at the same time. As time goes by, all they have is just a miners lamp. Its a story about disaster. Characters in it will lose themselves during the continued trail of humanity. We also hope that audience can be a little bit self-missing too because that means self-examination and personal judgement on living space for some degree.

Curious Perspective

Creator note: By Weiwei Jin Based on the idea of a multimedia installation-performance, Kaleidoscope introduces the spectator to an audiovisual kaleidoscope where bits of sounds and images are played, cut and reflected. Having the idea of human expressions as a fundamental thought, this work captures, collects and edits different expressive elements and decontextualizes them. It is a conceptual quest for freedom of expressions. This work presents a space where sound and image intersect, where multi-layered spatial audio and visual environments communicate an experience form inside to outside and from outside to inside. The facial painting/masking process of Beijing opera was filmed and edited for multi video projection, accompanied with acousmatic music, which was created from recordings of press printing factories and the reading of texts in seven different languages. The creator expresses the direct influence that the past 6 years of her life has had in her. Learning foreign expressions, getting use to new ones, creating own ones, forgetting old ones and rethinking those already forgotten. The video part of this work was collaborated with Peruvian video artist Matias Vega Norell. Program note: On a street corner I noticed the multiplicity of simultaneous visual and audible events all going together in ones experience and producing enjoyment- John Milton Cage The first decade of the XXI is already behind us, and the advances in the field of communications – and the technology related to it – have changed the standards of human interaction. The world will never be the same again. In the verge of this media / technology / communication revolution, we take a step back to think about the core of it all: Human expressions. We, as a race, have the need of communicating. We use the spoken and written word to reach people; our faces and bodies express emotions; art is a way of transforming feeling and thoughts into movement, colour, light and sound, etc.… We are expressive individuals. However, communication can only happen within a context. Kaleidoscope is an installation where human expressions are taken out of their natural context and set together in a non-existing space to blend and become something else. The make up process of the traditional Beijing Opera; the sound of the printing room in a newspaper factory; voices talking about freedom of speech in 7 different languages; the use of colours, and the space itself become layers of expression that are to be decoded and interpreted by the spectator, probably the most important character in the place. As in every communication process it is the spectator who gives a meaning to the experience, regardless of which one it is. Welcome to Kaleidoscope. Enjoy.

Multi-media Installation Theatre - Star

Star is an experimental artistic work which discusses the art inheritance. When we look up to the sky and watch the numerous stars, it is hard to imagine that the light of star has already gone through hundred millions of light years. That brightest star we can see now may have long gone. How about the dissemination of arts? Those maestros whom we adore today have already passed away; while their works are just as bright as the stars, which attract future generations to study and explore. The world without the works of these maestros is just like the pitch-dark universe without the light of stars. In the work, we take light as the carrier. With the combination of music, dance and image, we convey our enthusiasm and insistence to art to the audience from the bottom of our heart.

Sinfonia Concertante for Anda Union and Orchestra - The Last of the Steppes

In nine movements, The Last of the Steppes depicts the past, present, and future of the lnner Mongolian grasslands. The past is the nomadic life of Mongols, a culture built on relationships with domesticated animals as well as with wildlife: wolfs, eagles, gazelles, and more. The present is about the loss of the steppes; the human transition from protecting to threatening the grasslands through mining, agriculture, and urban development, leading to habitat destruction, desertification, and air pollution in the region, as well as a plea to "go home," a place strictly of the past. The future is uncertain. lt might be dystopian and devoid of anda, the Mongolian word for brotherhood and compassion, or it might be a chance for grasslands rebirth; the people who preserve the steppes today, then, are the heroes of tomorrow.

The inflectional storytelling and ballad singing in Suzhou dialect circuitously penetrates in modern metal tonality, the performance of Erhu, Pipa, or fast or slow, the dancers moving point, the timely cuts in multichannel interactive electronic music rhythm... The object, language, sound, and tone melt together, which is a subtle and ordinary leap into a special music experience.
