Guelph Jazz Festival: Jen Shyu “Nine Doors”

Presented By Guelph Jazz Festival:

Due to the nature of this performance, latecomers will not be seated. Please leave extra time to arrive punctually for the 4:00 p.m. curtain.

Jen Shyu, “Nine Doors” (USA)

Jen Shyu is an extraordinary composer, multi-instrumentalist, dancer, and vocalist whose polymath talents are deftly synthesised in the ritualistic solo performance, “Nine Doors”. At the heart of the multi-faceted narrative is a “wayang kulit” shadow puppeteer’s daughter from Indonesia who, in the face of tragedy and trauma, is empowered through encounters with female legends from Timorese and Korean folklore, for instance. As she voyages through time and space to meet them, they offer her guidance, strength, and solace. Astonishingly, Shyu sings songs in eight languages, dances, and plays Taiwanese moon lute, Korean “gayageum”, piano, Japanese “biwa”, and Korean “soribuk” drum to tell this transformative, uplifting story. Peerless.
