Free-flowing, electronic wonderland of the body.

Taking the international air route via body, getting lost in time and out of direction in thousands of miles high above the sky, we will be guided by sounds. The latest piece of I-Fen Tung, De/part, departs from the loneliness of travelling, reproducing images of how bodies exist and disappear. The Sounds construct a center of memories which arouse jet lag in nonlinear-like minds. Following How to Say, Tung invites the Germany musician, Coordt to collaborate in De/part. It will present the visualization of sounds and musicality of body. Let every amplified sense and illusions lead us to the next direction in the journey.
