Have we evolved since the dawn of mankind? Why are proverbs from thousands of years ago still ever bit relevant to us today? Why is history constantly repeating itself? How will we break away from this perpetual vicious cycle?
This program will bring three performances attempting to convey a story or a proverb for us to reflect on.

12 Dog Cycle
12 dog cycle 是由台灣的張惠笙和澳洲的 Nigel Brown 一同創作的表演合作。在他們的表演中,他們以聲音來探討我們對於生活四周空間與環境的體驗。惠笙用她的非傳統人聲發聲來製造與觀眾間的親暱互動,也以發聲 方向來凸顯空間中的回音原音特質。Nigel 用以一改造手風琴來製造特殊的延續聲音樂器。
12 dog cycle is a sound art collaboration that has been developed over the past decade by Alice Hui-Sheng Chang and Nigel Brown. In their performance practice they use sound to explore our experience of the space and environment around us. Alice uses her voice in unconventional ways to create an intimate relationship with an audience and draw attention to the acoustic properties of a space. Nigel has deconstructed a piano accordion to create a unique drone instrument.
