Mystery of Clock with Mark Fewer and Aiyun Huang
2025-11-07 19:30 - 21:00 | The Majestic Theatre, 390 Duckworth Street, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, A1C 1H8, Canada
Sound Arts Initiatives is thrilled to present this unique, immersive, and transformative multi-media performance combining lighting, gesture, audiovisual, staging, text, violin, and percussion, in St. John’s for the first time at the historic Majestic Theatre.
Conceived for two exceptional musicians—Aiyun Huang, percussionist, and Mark Fewer, violinist—the project examines how our clocks respond to one another, to the passage of time, to stress, and to emotions. The two instruments embody distinct yet complementary temporalities, symbolizing the diversity of human experiences.
Mystery of Clock combines design, dramaturge, musical composition, text, improvisation and performance to create a highly immersive musical and theatrical experience for the general audience. The musicians are story tellers, human beings who traverse between quasi real-life and fictional states of being musicians, intimate souls, and fictional characters—creating imaginative musical tales that leave one wonders about the blurry lines between reality and fantasy.
Each scene is an exploration of a key theme: memory, stress, love, the irreversibility of time… The violin and percussion become mirrors of the human soul: fragile, complex, deeply connected. Through their musical dialogue, they offer an artistic meditation on temporality, love, and what makes us beings in a perpetual quest for synchronization with the world.

Warning: this show features a ~2:30 minute sequence involving flashing lights.
