Kelsey Lu The Lucid: A Dream Portal to Awakening

Summary

Where

Reethaus

When

Saturday, September 02, 2023
18:00-22:00

What

Performance with conversation

Singer-songwriter, composer, cellist, performance artist and producer Kelsey Lu invites us into their liminal dream world for our first-ever performance at the Reethaus. Appearing live with cello and voice, Lu will reinterpret the score for their installation piece “The Lucid: A Dream Portal to Awakening” in an intimate exploration of the sonic frequencies of their subconscious during sleep.

Celebrated for their integration of classical, electronic and organic sounds amidst her soaring and soulful vocals, Lu’s music is constantly evolving in response to the world around her. Lu will curate an evening-long experience in the inner room of the Reethaus, an intimate space where audience and artist are in close communion. Light food and drinks will be served over the course of the program, and the performance will be followed by a panel discussion between series curator MJ Harper and Kelsey Lu, moderated by Kandis Williams.
