Event Details

Internationally recognised as a leader in the fields of experimental and contemporary classical music, Speak Percussion are constantly redefining the parameters of percussion.

Assembly Operation brings together three percussionists who dutifully form an assembly line to extract exquisite sound from three iconic representations of Chinese culture: paper, ceramics and low-fi electronics.

Each section draws upon the visual, sonic and conceptual qualities of the famed Chinese one yuan note.

Using paper, packaging, electronic toys and traditional objects, Speak Percussion deliver a loaded sonic odyssey.

In this exciting new collaboration between Eugene Ughetti, visual artists Cyrus Tang and Jia Jia Chen and performance maker Clare Britton, Assembly Operation is a dark and humorous performance intertwining percussion, theatrical staging and video sequences to conjure surreal reflections on mass-production.

"Virtuosic and adventurous." New York Times

Musicians: Eugene Ughetti, Matthias Schack-Arnott, Kaylie Melville
