Yifeng Yvonne Yuan Residency: We are too tired, like two sinking suns

This work by Yifeng Yvonne Yuan explores tiredness through two cellists, live electronics, moving images, and installation Yifeng Yvonne Yuan — Composer Katrina Agate — Cellist / Performer Jocelyne Chen — Cellist / Creative Collaborator Zhifan Guo — Scenic & Prop Designer We are too tired, like two sinking suns explores tiredness through two cellists, live electronics, moving images, and installation. The music is built around repetition, until familiar gestures begin to wear down and eventually fail. Gauze appears throughout the work as a way of holding broken things together, turning repair into both a physical action and an image of care. During the BROILER Residency, the work will expand beyond the performers and into the surrounding space, transforming the venue into a room of exhaustion and recovery. The environment is soft and fragile, but continually interrupted by the mechanical pressure of repetition and the sense that everything is being pushed a little too far.
