Wu Na, guqin
Jen Shyu,  voice
Yin Mei, dance

The Qin, or guqin, is a seven-stringed zither with a 3,000-year history in China.  What is singing is a project that Wu Na began in 2007.  This name is inspired by one of the oldest anonymous Qin compositions, “Shen Ren Chang” (“Freedom of the Sage”).  “What is singing” means: there is no restriction on the Qin.  It could be a way to approach modern times, modern art or even modern life.

Roulette ~ world premiere of "CRY OF THE NOMAD" commissioned by Roulette with funds from the Jerome Foundation
Friday, May 16, 2008, 8:30pm, 20 Greene Street, NY, NY
Reservations/Tickets: 212.219.8242

       Jen Shyu, composition, vocals, dance
       Jennifer Choi, violin
       Rubin Kodheli, cello
       Mat Maneri, viola
       Thomas Morgan, bass
       Miles Okazaki, guitar
       Satoshi Haga, dance, choreography

Themes of physical helplessness, spiritual displacement, isolation, and forced love run through the lives of both ancient and recent ancestors which merge in this ritual for voice, dance, and string ensemble.  The piece connects the characters of Shyu’s late Taiwanese grandfather born in 1914 with Lady Wen-chi,  a princess abducted by nomads from her Han Dynasty kingdom around 195 A.D.   The commissioned work brings to life a fourteenth-century handscroll painted to accompany the poetry of Liu Shang illustrating Lady Wen-chi’s story; and intertwines it with a man’s 20th-century life culminating in spiritual quest.  Commissioned by Roulette with funds provided by the Jerome Foundation.
