Lee Ha-neuri on Sync Next 26

[PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION] And So They Lived **** Ever After Rising as one of the most prominent contemporary composers through victories at major international music competitions including the Bartók International Competition, Ha Ha-neuri expands a fairy tale motif into an entirely different narrative in her first feature-length work. Let's recall a fairy tale familiar to everyone. Three little pigs who built their houses with straw, wood, and brick. Here, the three entities do not appear as protagonists in the fairy tale, but rather as three musical subjects that erode and intermingle with each other's boundaries, and an unexplained tension flows between them. The narrative no longer unfolds as a story. The narrative recedes, and the performer merely operates the music—before long, the scene is dominated by music. Triggered by a single event, identities become mixed and eventually collapse. Within this structure where musical, physical, spatial, and sensory elements operate in parallel, where the familiar fairy tale ends, something entirely different begins.
