EEL: SHENG x Misi Ke x Tôn Thất An
C-LAB Sound Festival | October 30 & 31, November 15, 2025
Live performances to accompany the release of the film as well as Chu Chun Teng’s exhibition. Those live performances were part of the C-LAB Sound Festival that opened on October 30.
Alongside sound artist Yan Sheng Wen, composer Tôn Thất An played and revisited a selection of pieces from the film score, with lead actress and songstress Misi Ke 柯泯薰 who sang the theme song Bird Talk.
Joining them on stage were three of his longtime musical partners-in-crime: violinist: Edric Chang and cellists Emily Chang and Hsuwei Lin who all played in for the film score.
The first and third performances took place at the C-LAB, while the second live show was an open air performance on Shezi Island, where the film was shot, followed by the screening of the film.
