Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Tsim Sha Tsui | Chinese Culture Festival 2025: 'Tan Dun WE-Festival': Xiangxi Tujia Women's Daliuzi & Hong Kong Women's Percussion Ensemble (TEA-liuzi World Premiere)

Description

Enlightened by an in-depth field trip to Xiangxi, Tan Dun explores the possibility of merging the Daliuzi (percussion of Tujia) and tea culture. Drawing from tea-making techniques, he creates a world premiere TEA-liuzi. This innovative piece allows two female percussion ensembles from Hong Kong and Xiangxi to engage in a dialogue that bridges the past and the future, as well as the East and the West.
