Music theater | collaborational work from Yiran Zhao & Kai Chun Chuang

 

The composer Yiran Zhao and the choreographer and dancer Kai Chun Chuang are working as an artistic duo on their new production The feverish nostalgia of the water children.

In their work, the sound material and the composed body movements form the most important aspects, combined with costumes, scenography and light. Thus, the music theatre based on the libretto by Fiston Mwanza Mujila leads to an interdisciplinary piece that questions the conventional boundaries between performative categories such as “musician”, “actor” or “dancer”.

 

Duration: 60 minutes

 

The composition commission for “The feverish nostalgia of the water children” is funded by the Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes NRW.
