French sound artist Thierry Madiot will join his wife, Ting, to give a live musical performance on Dec. 19 at 2pm. The two are also exhibiting a joint project that uses a homemade stethoscope and box of objects to create sound. After putting the headset on, a participant should close his or her eyes while another person places different objects from the box into a small cup attached to the earphones. The different sounds are meant to trigger a variety of responses or emotions, depending on the person.
Taipei-based company A Moving Sound is also putting on its latest theatrical production at the festival. The group has gained well-deserved attention this year for its combination of Mia Hsieh's traditional dance and vocals with Scott Prairie's contemporary music.
