Woozoo: The Beyond Within

Wozoo, the final master project by violinist and composer SooHyun April Jang, is an immersive journey that bridges the gap between the gargantuan cosmos and the intimate human.

KI-generert

"The universe is not a distant void; it is a vast ocean flowing within us."

Utilizing a 17-piece ensemble and spatial visual arts, the piece traces the arc of existence – from the violent expansion of the Big Bang to the microtonal nebulas and the rhythmic precision of Pulsars.

As the cosmic textures settle, the narrative shifts from the external universe to the 'micro-cosmos' of motherhood.

My universe has changed since the moment my child was born.

And now, I have become my child’s whole universe.

What is your universe? And what does it sound like?

It is a tribute to the moment my universe was redefined, inviting the audience to witness the profound resonance between the stars above and the life within.
