Resonance - Gayageum
Ek Cho
20th June - Saturday
5-6pm
Location: Bus Interchange
free, live music
New encounters lead to resonance: a site-responsive gayageum performance unfolding across buses, station concourses, and public plazas.
This work reimagines traditional Korean music within the rhythms of the city. As the gayageum moves through spaces of transit, sound becomes a vehicle for encounter, reflection, and connection.
Structured through four musical movements—circulation, reflection, threshold, and resonance—the performance explores movement not simply as transportation, but as a series of transitions, rituals, and shared experiences.
Traditional and contemporary Korean music transform everyday transit environments into places of listening, where journeys become moments of connection and the city itself becomes part of the score.
