Experimental theater experience to debut

US-based Chinese sound artist Ma Tingying will showcase her unique sound and performance installation in China this month, Chen Nan reports.

About three years ago, New York-based Chinese artist Ma Tingying came across a video in which German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen gives a lecture on electronic music.

Intrigued by his use of bombastic language, she watched the entire clip and ended up being inspired to create a theater production which features no actors, but a multichannel sound installation composed solely of human voices and a live, improvised performance by a children's marching band.
