break down the barriers
At the closing concert of the Music Festival, the multimedia opera "Fun Journey" adopted a brand-new creative way, which embodied a brand-new comedy mode-electronic opera in the relationship between the essence of language and human body language. This work transcends the traditional concepts of theater, drama and music, and the performer Miguel azmi leads us into the whirlwind of infinite imagination and the ever-changing creative maze. He integrated sound and image into the stage performance structure, and the sound and image were processed electronically in real time, accompanied by sound, poetry, action, music and painting, creating multiple lines and sensory counterpoint. The fun tour combines sound, light, body and movement, and only one performer can achieve the perfect combination of challenging music and drama, opening up a brand-new scene for electronic music and breaking the boundaries between music, drama and opera.
