Trans artist Beatrice Wong revisits Sopor Aeternus: a vigil for inner darkness & finding light without abandoning shadows
About this Event

Talk will be conducted in English

講座將以英語進行

In the mid-2000s, before her transition, Beatrice Wong found an oracle in Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows (a darkwave music project by trans musician Anna-Varney Cantodea). The album The Inexperienced Spiral Traveller became a mirror for a body that felt like "irreparable deviance" and a serenade for a trapped spirit. Join us as Beatrice revisits this haunting gothic masterpiece—not as a sermon of self-destruction, but as a vigil for the inner darkness. A session on finding one’s story in the music of isolation, and learning to walk toward the light without abandoning the shadows.

在2000年代中期，在她跨性別轉變之前，黃雪綾（Beatrice Wong）在 Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows（跨性別音樂家 Anna-Varney Cantodea 所創立的暗潮音樂計劃）中找到了一種神諭。專輯《The Inexperienced Spiral Traveller》成為一面鏡子，映照出那個感覺像是「無可挽回的偏差」的身體，以及一首為被困靈魂而寫的小夜曲。歡迎加入我們，由 Beatrice 重新審視這張令人縈繞心頭的哥德式傑作——不是作為一場自我毀滅的說教，而是作為一場對內在黑暗的守夜。這是一場如何在孤寂的音樂中找到自己的故事，並學會在不拋棄陰影的情況下走向光明的分享。
