AT ONE FESTIVAL PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

AT ONE OPENING CEREMONY,
TRADITIONS IN MODERNITY
The Festival will open with guiding every individual into STILLNESS, opening up your every sense in preparation for your journey at the AT ONE Festival to understand your life, finding your way of life, and styling your life. Integrating traditions and modernity, sound and light, the performances include the world-renowned U Theater from Taiwan, music by Anya & John, sound & healing by Crystal Bowl Meditation from Tibet, and Mongolian Khoomei.

 

 

 

 

 

Thousands of years ago, the Chinese Zen Masters had said, “A true artist must combine ‘Tao – training of one’s own life’ with ‘Art – practice of aesthetics of life’ together as one. ”The philosophy of “Tao and Art as One” is U-Theatre’s goal of creation and life. The “U” of U-Theatre is a phonetic transcript of a Chinese character meaning “excellence”. In ancient China, this word also referred to “professional performers”.

 

 

 

 

 

Khoomei (Long-tune Song, Hooliin Chor, Throat Harmony or Throat Singing) is the living fossil folk music of the Mongolian and one UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Its charm lies in its biphonic sound achieved through the tightening of throat and the manipulation of tongue, by the same person.

 

 

 

The Crystal Bowl Meditation is a form of sound healing from Tibet. The use of crystal bowls emits an ethereal and penetrating field of vibration, acting as a carrier wave for the healing tones of the music. Your mind and body become a sympathetic resonator, in sync with the perfect harmonic patterns of this musical alchemy. Inner visions arise, cellular healing unfolds, and deep meditation opens its mysteries.
