Asian Choral Music Theatre: A New Cross-Disciplinary Classic
“Whenever I think of you, I lift my head and softly sing a song…”
In the form of contemporary choral music theatre,
weaving together voices, drama, visuals and electronic music,
this production hopes to lead audiences to look back on their own lives,
to express care and understanding to their loved ones,
to resolve long-held regrets while there is still time,
and, embracing love and warmth, to open the springtime of life.
