The New Tale of Mountains and Sea
‘With money you’re a dragon Without it you’re a worm Find a place that you can build on And a way to hold on firm…’
Watching @danielyorkloh perform live at the @twotempleplace Place was a remarkable experience. Juxtaposing the world of the privileged, yet embittered émigré William Waldorf Astor (who commissioned the building of Two Temple Place) with the harsh experiences of the impoverished first #Chinese#settlers in London, Daniel York Loh creates a powerful one-man show of two worlds apart. One evokes the depths of #Shakespearean#theatre#drama, portraying greed and fear entangled in @cheng_yu_music’s Pipa and @wangxiaouk Erhu, while the other expresses anger and confusion through a rap melody accompanied by electric live sound composed by @antingpig . The contrast in #musical style and #performance was captivating, leaving me utterly blown away! Since then I wished to work with Daniel.
Join us for a captivating 2.5-hour workshop of self-discovery through #creativewriting and crafting performance props, alongside #face#painting and the design of #protest#slogans. Let’s delve into the timeless tales of the “Classics of Mountains and Sea,” crafting our own #mythology and breathing life into #creaturesembodying unspoken emotions and the call of hope!
