Time: 1815-1930
Programme:
Chapter I｜Awakening
Music: Ravens Frolic in the Wintry Water
A traditional Chaozhou guzheng piece,
bright and fluid like rippling winter water,
opening the journey with clarity and breath.
Tea Ritual I · Chaozhou Milanxiang Dancong Oolong
Chapter II｜Mountains Within
Music: Fantasia
A Southwestern-inspired composition,
expansive and dynamic,
guiding the audience through an inner landscape of shifting mountains.
Tea Ritual II · Yunnan Wild Old Tree Dianhong
A tea of mountain air and depth, leading into a softer space of reflection.
⸻
Chapter III｜Reflection
Music & Vocal: Flowers Fall and Catkins Fly
The absence of taste
creates space for the poetry of sound
and movement to land directly in the heart.
Flowers Fall and Catkins Fly is a lyrical guzheng piece
inspired by the drifting beauty of falling petals and spring catkins.
Its shimmering lines
and fluid gestures create an atmosphere of softness,
transience, and quiet emotional depth.
The subtle blend of guzheng and voice adds an intimate,
poetic colour to the work.

Chapter IV｜Return to Self
A quiet closing moment. Ten seconds of stillness for the journey to settle.
Guzheng&Vocal: Kang Yang
Dancer: Jose Funnell
Tea Master: Gary Tin
