Step into the sonic future with The Parts We Give, a bold new hyperpop song-cycle by Australian-Chinese composer Christine Pan. Blending glitchy synths, distorted vocals, and raw emotional power, this high-voltage performance reimagines opera for the digital age. Siblings Didi and Jiejie navigate memory, simulation, and cultural pressure in a world flickering between past and present.
