Peny Chan revisits and reinterprets the Peking Opera

Peny Chan
Polyglot Malaysian singer and performer Peny Chan seeks to highlight the cultural traditions as well as the transformations within the Peking opera’s style of singing. Her project aims to deconstruct the opera’s original structure and reconstruct it into a new experimental genre of singing. Working together with musician and vocalist Rully Shabara on producing the work, Chan will use south-east Asian languages and dialects to read and sing traditional Chinese opera librettos, and push the envelope on the accepted sounds within it.
