INTERNATIONAL HOUSE
Luncheon with Wu Man and the Center for East Asian Studies
FREE and open to the public, RSVP required
In addition to her performance “A Night in the Gardens of the Tang Dynasty” on Sunday, October 13th, Wu joins the Center for East Asian Studies at the University, which is co-presenting the residency, for a luncheon discussion in UChicago’s International House, and she will participate in a screening and discussion of the documentary Discovering a Musical Heartland: Wu Man’s Return to China. The film, which Wu produced and directed, documents her travels through China’s remote regions as she unearths ancient musical traditions in danger of being lost. Wu says, “I hope that through the documentary film the audience can travel with me to China’s remote countryside, to discover music rarely seen or heard outside of these areas, to see the inside of China.”
