With: Thomas Amelio. Many of us long to make deep and lasting change in our lives, but often try to do so from a viewpoint that is itself the problem. Meditation can help us make a lasting shift into a new consciousness altogether.

Performance | Shanghai/New York: Future Histories 2: Xi Ban and Pi Huang Club


Multidisciplinary, music-focused emerging Chinese artists Xi Ban and Pi Huang Club perform. Wrapped in an absurd and hyperbolic narrative, the music film Sever revisits the ancient Chinese folktale of Diao Chan with live accompaniment by the modern Chinese band Xi Ban. Mixing classical instrumentation with westernized form, Xi Ban create an intriguing interplay between traditional idioms and pop culture references. Drawing parallel lines between Qi-style Peking Opera and southern blues, Pi Huang Club matches the two main tones of this ancient performance with similarities in this distinctly American form.
