Solo Rites: Seven Breaths with Jen Shyu

Info: Jan 28, 2016 • Thu • 7:30-9:30pm • Orvis Auditorium •

Jen Shyu`s solo performance that of a woman living simultaneously in multiple cultures and "projecting her ancestry" through contemporary monologue reveals a personal journey of loss and redemption made universal through the exploration of hardships that plagues our modern world: loss of tradition, habitat, and public spaces. Sonic, visual, and visceral rites and reflections are discovered by pilgrimage through Taiwan, East Timor, Indonesia, Vietnam, and South Korea. Renowned Indonesian film and stage director Garin Nugroho (Opera Jawa, Under the Tree, Daun di Atas Bantal) directed Solo Rites: Seven Breaths, infusing his distinctive vision for celebrating the exhilarating and sacred into the work.

Jen Shyu, experimental vocalist, composer, multi-instrumentalist, dancer, and scholar, performs a solo opera that pulls from traditions and styles throughout Asia and Southeast Asia. Solo Rites is a personal journey of loss and redemption made universal through the exploration of hardships that plague our modern world.

Conceived, composed & performed by Jen Shyu

Directed by Garin Nugroho

"[Jen Shyu]. . . combined movement, acting, singing, and playing into long-form songs that could remind you of ancient court music or Joni Mitchell. Everything she did -- every turn, every breath -- came with mindful emphasis." --NY Times

Jen Shyu's music operates in some unpatrolled border zone, blurring lines between folk song and art song, the traditional and the avant-garde, Western and Eastern, between waking consciousness and dream logic." --NPR's Fresh Air
