Le Cameléon (2023) ; 7:00
by Yunjie Zhang
Zhejiang Conservatory of Music
The chameleon is an animal with the ability to change its body color. It mainly inhabits African rainforests, and its lightning-fast tongue can deliver a fatal blow to its prey. Inspired by a fascinating encounter with a chameleon in life, this work explores the characteristics and metaphors of the chameleon, reimagining them through the language of pure sound into dramatic scenes: a fierce predator, the ability to cross rivers, delayed reactions, and color-changing abilities. The metaphorical chameleon is often a beautiful yet dangerous imposter, shrouded in mystery, ready to strike fiercely when least expected.
