Going beyond music

Du Yun, a 39-year-old musician who won a Pulitzer for her creation of the opera Angels' Bone, was recently in Shanghai to take part in a cross-disciplinary art event. Zhang Kun reports.

Du Yun landed in Shanghai, the city of her birth, two weeks after winning the Pulitzer Prize for music with her opera Angels' Bone. She was there to participate in the cross-disciplinary art event Shanghai Project on April 22.

Shanghai Project is a contemporary art initiative started in 2016 as "an experiment, a laboratory for testing the boundaries of existing assumptions". An exhibition entitled Seeds of Time opened at the Shanghai Himalayas Museum on the same day, which marked the beginning of the Shanghai Project Chapter 2.
