Chronicle 时•录

SANSARA + TANGRAM

We’re collaborating with artist collective Tangram to present our first large scale co-commission from composers Alex Ho and Rockey Sun Keting.

Chronicle 时•录 is an interdiscplinary choral-theatre work, tracing the voices of six women poets across a millennium of Chinese history.

Through war, exile, love, loss and displacement, their poems record not only personal emotion, but the fragile continuity of culture, memory and survival.
