A Thousand Sweeps by Wuji Ensemble
Studio Theatre, Hong Kong Cultural Centre
10-12/12/2010
Presented by Zuni Icosahedron
Produced by Wuji Ensemble
An orderly disarray of sharp crystalline sounds from the strings unveils a 60-minute poetic journey into light and sound. Beginning with a pipa solo in A Thousand Sweeps, the Wuji Ensemble highlights the continuous undulating flow of calligraphy and turn music into flying trajectory paths, which move, migrate and change through different music compositions and reach the majestically powerful ending of the wild and unrestrained ink-and-wash brush strokes manifested in the final piece Ambush from Ten Sides.
