Event Navigation
Let the rhythm take you to another world. Through an ancient culture that have lived through this time. The Concert Theatre and CAN present a re-imagining of the concert form, interweaving music by Debussy with a classic Chinese tale, ‘The Travels of Lao Can’ (老殘遊記).
All the way from Taiwan, the production team is based on Lao Can Impression to explore the cultural exchange between east and west by combining Chinese and western approaches to music and drama.
Be entertained as the performers fuse beautiful culture and modernization into their pieces. Watch as the musicians highlight the eastern influences in Debussy’s music while two actors tell Liu’s story about westernization in China.
The piece is directed and written by An-Ting Chang (Artistic Director of Concert Theatre and Chinese Arts Now), with the devisers and performers Hsu Hua-Chien and Chi-I Chang, three concert musicians, Li-Chi Chiang (piano), Yun-Ju Chen (flute) and Jen-Hsin Kung (cello) and scenography by Wang Jing.
Featuring music by Debussy including La mer, Images, Cello Sonata.
CAN Festival’s 2019 music programme is generously supported by The Fenton Arts Trust.
