About the Event
Origin of You by Mindy Meng Wang 王萌 and Becky Sui Zhen is a highly personal musical exploration of lived experiences of migration, motherhood, grief and reconnecting with identity.
The album uses three central motifs: 空 (Kōng), or Emptiness; 疼 (Téng), or Pain; 气 (Chi), sometimes known as ‘Energy’ to explore these stories.
Live at The Wheeler Centre, Wang and Zhen come together with host Eugenia Lim to talk about their craft, the origins of their collaboration and the importance of storytelling, complete with a mesmerising live performance of their new work.
