"stunning … an extraordinary lexicon of vocal colors, tones and textures." —The Chicago Tribune
How can life be changed? Or healed? San Francisco-based innovator
Dohee Lee explores these metaphysical questions in an evocative new work integrating traditional Korean performance with contemporary music, movement and film. Born in Korea and now immersed in the Bay Area’s experimental art world, Lee is trained in shamanic ritual music and dance and Korean percussion. Inspired by the ancient Chinese text I-Ching, or Book of Changes, Lee maps out the book’s 64 symbolic hexagrams with a stunning integration of light design, imagery and movement. This YBCA commissioned work features the work of filmmaker and virtuoso bassist Tatsu Aoki; saxophonist
Francis Wong; Jonathan Chen on violin and electronics; Jason Lewis, multiple percussion; dancer/choreographer Sherwood Chen; and visual artist Thomas Wong.
