CRSは、Jen Shyuの最新作『Fertile Land, Fertile Body』の抜粋部分のワーク・イン・プログレス上演にあなたを招待します。
この多言語の儀式オペラは、古来の音楽とオリジナル音楽、ダンス、プロジェクションを組み合わせた作品で、母の喪失、母性の喪失、ジェノサイドが気候変動と生殖能力に与える影響を探求しながら、不妊に苦しむ女性たちの苦闘と希望の物語を共有します。

上演は、ボーカリスト／マルチ奏者／ダンサーのJen Shyuを中心に、合唱も兼ねるボーカリスト兼奏者たちによって行われ、音と振付られた動きを用いて、土地と身体の両方における「不毛さ」を克服することがどのように深く結びついているかを表現します。

このパフォーマンスは、2026年2月28日午後8時、D.U.M.B.O.のOpen Arts Studioで開催され、キム・スミがキュレーションするOpen Arts Studioの新しいパフォーマンスシリーズの一部です。
