Born in China and currently based in New York City\, Du Yun’s insati able curiosity finds new voice in The Ocean Etched in the Forest (刻在 森林的海). Over the past several years\, Du Yun and her collaborator J ulian Crouch have worked closely with Jino artists from Yunnan province\, including He Guiying\, the national inheritor of his people's unique herit age. Living almost entirely isolated from urban society until 1979\, the J ino people have maintained their distinct culture and ecologically grounde d mindset amid rampant modernization. In collaboration with Du Yun and Cro uch\, Guiying has been recording Jino children from Bapiao Village as they perform nearly forgotten local folk songs. These recordings\, merged with music from Du Yun’s band OK MISS and live theatrical elements\, form Oc ean’s original musical tapestry for a concert that transcends time and g eography. Join us for a work that highlights the intersections of ancient tradition and modern methodology\, folk tales and contemporary storytellin g\, and generations living and gone. This performance features open captio ning. The 2pm showing is a Relaxed Performance.\nThis performance is commi ssioned by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and the Beijing Music Fe stival.
