Enlightened by an in-depth field trip to Xiangxi, Tan Dun explores the possibility of merging the Daliuzi (percussion of Tujia) and tea culture. Drawing from tea-making techniques, he creates a world premiere TEA-liuzi．Mystical Xiangxi. This innovative piece allows two female percussion ensembles from Hong Kong and Xiangxi to engage in a dialogue that bridges the past and the future, as well as the East and the West.
Artistic Director: Tan Dun
Performers: Xiangxi Tujia Women’s Daliuzi and Hong Kong Women’s Percussion Ensemble (Karen Yu, Elise Liu, Eugene Kwong and Emma Ng), Liu Muyu (Guest Piano Soloist)
The performance will run for about 1 hour and 30 minutes including a 15-minute intermission.
Programme of ‘Tea Culture’ Series and HKICH Month.
