Amidou Balani 레퍼토리 <은고니>

<Ngoni>, from the Amidou Balani repertoire, is a performance built around the ngoni, a traditional West African string instrument. aplan-company handled stage direction and performance documentation, designing the staging so the instrument's delicate timbre carries fully through the hall. Rather than adding elaborate effects, lighting and stage density were kept restrained so attention gathers on the player and the instrument. As an occasion introducing West African traditional music to a Korean audience, the flow and structure of the performance were adjusted accordingly. It captures the moment an unfamiliar instrument sounds at its clearest on stage.
