Teng Chao-Ming

Teng Chao-Ming - A Rehearsal (Peach Blossom Spring) (Working title)

"This piece is one of the video series I have been working on, all in the format of rehearsal, to address issues around hope, life/death, and agency. In this video, a free jazz pianist is interacting with an actress continuously, until they reach an end they agree upon. The actress recites again and again the Story of Peach Blossom Spring, most likely the first story written on the topic of utopia, about 1500 years ago. Peach blossom spring became the term Chinese speaking people use to refer to Utopia."
