The Prague Quadrennial is billed by organizers as the "world's largest event focused on performance design and scenography in all their forms". Rice said they received some 50 works globally and selected 29 to be presented in Prague for three days of sonic bliss. It was like nothing else that we've seen, and it was one of my favorite pieces." "It was a fantastic piece of the coming together of research, performance, humor and technology. "When we first saw the piece, we knew it had to be here," Rice recalled. "It feels quite dramatic," Sound Kitchen co-curator Peter Rice said about the Chinese artists' performance, noting that humor and technological advancement were the two things about the performance that most appealed to him.

Sun said it was their first performance in Prague. Each movement serves as a trigger for generating corresponding sounds," he explained.

The composition incorporates real-time data control in the sound engine and is specifically designed to enable performers to connect with their emotional rhythms. Sun Hua, a sound designer from the China National Opera and Dance Drama Theater, and composer Feng Jinshuo from the Communication University of China, performed their piece Crazy Fabric at the Sound Kitchen, which offers a platform for sound designers, artists and composers from around the world to exhibit their sonic works as part of the event.Ĭomposed for an interactive stage performance, Crazy Fabric was presented using touch-sensitive fabric, interactive videos and sound design.
