“A surreal immersive experience of dreams reminisced"
Inspired by news of an elderly woman in the Eastern European war zone, who placed seeds in the pockets of invading soldiers, telling them when they fall in battle, their bodies will fertilize the soil from which sunflowers will bloom. Her bravery prompts a Formosan pianist to reflect and compose a rondo in memory of his late father, a fighter for democracy. She longs for dialogue with the heavens through her cyclical five-part rondo, seeking response and redemption, while inadvertently unearthing her own long-buried traumatic memories. The surreal visuals resonate and perpetually renews around the rondo, transforming relics and spiritual legacies into seeds of hope. The audience witnesses the faith of unwavering souls that will never surrender to darkness.
