Performance: Mantawoman

8 Nov 2023 6.30-8pm

Overview

In this performance Mantawoman will serve her signature blend of Chinese folk, contemporary classical and original hypnopop music for yangqin and voice. The set, which will incorporate conversation with the audience, reflects on the nature of change, identity as performance, and music as a medium for self-transcendence.

Mantawoman is a musician and performer who specialises in playing yangqin, a percussive string instrument from China, to create a unique sound and song writing style that synthesises yangqin, voice and electronics. Inspired by the ocean, Daoist philosophy, and her journey coming out as genderfluid, Mantawoman embodies fluidity as a healing response to fragmentation.
