About

The VR production of “PI PA XING” will present a VR scenography environment, which is based on Tang dynasty poem Bai Juyi’s works The song of Pipa Player. The important part of the project is to interpret the spiritual content of the show by refining symbols or metaphor, focusing on a purity of space for an unrestrained expression. It is a rethinking and recognition of the nature of arts and return to ourselves’.
