TD Encounters: Hua - Soundstreams

The first Encounters to take place in the historic and gloriously restored Paradise Theatre, Hua (畫, meaning to draw or to paint) is an immersive audiovisual collaboration between visual artist Margie Kelk and composer Alison Yun-Fei Jiang. Across eight interconnected movements, Jiang’s surround-sound electroacoustic music responds to Kelk’s luminous abstract paintings displayed on screen. In this Encounters, visual and sonic landscapes intertwine to form a richly layered journey through memory, nature, identity, migration, and transformation. Hua invites audiences into a multisensory world where cultures, perspectives, and artistic disciplines converge in a deeply resonant shared experience. An artist discussion and audience Q&A with Yun-Fei Jiang and Kelk will follow the performance.

Registration will be made available closer to the show.

*Soundstreams’ TD Encounters is a free event series which always offers something different. These events are equal parts performance, artist discussion, and Q&A, and give audiences the opportunity to engage with artists and their work in an intimate and relaxed setting.
