[2026 Weiwuying International Music Festival] CHANG Shiuan - People Concerto
CHANG Shiuan (Composer) × MA Yuan-yuan (Installation Designer) × LIU I-ling (Choreographer) × LI Li-chin (Sheng) × Ictus Ensemble (Live musicians)
Step onto a grid composed of 63 sound cells — here, you are not just a spectator, but a participant, a trigger, a performer.
Each step, each movement, is translated into sound. The installation remembers your path; the sound remembers your presence. Vocal and instrumental materials, recorded by Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart and Ictus Ensemble, are restructured through CHANG Shiuan's composition, and embedded into the space — waiting to be revealed, reshaped, and resonated with your footsteps.
People Concerto is a musical action and a collectively generated sound theater. The audience becomes the performer, activating the work through movement. With no score, no conductor, and no fixed center, the piece continuously transforms and regenerates. Each participation becomes a shared ritual — an exploration of how sound is created, passed on, and ultimately faded.
You may lose your way within the installation — in doing so, you also enter the very heart of music. This is not music performed for you, but a sonic map co-created by individuals and collective efforts.
