Open Your Head

Erik Satie has been described as an “absurd, strange, modern, mind-opening” musician, and his works were extremely controversial in the early 20th century. He befriended Picasso and Cocteau and worked with them on some theatrical pieces that were often accompanied by bodily movements and visual effects. Soprano Florence Cheng, pianist Cynthia Chan and dancer Ngoc Nguyen Anh present this collaborative concert about the inner self of the composer, in the style of Erik Satie.
