Conduit

by Sun Keting and Lico Li Kehua

London Sinfonietta Writing for Future Commissioned

What happens when the world we know begins to shift slowly, then all at once?

Conduit begins in a world of stillness and tradition. The instruments are

acoustic, and the space is grounded and familiar. But slowly, that world

starts to shift. Electronics emerge—first as extensions, then as disruptions.

The performers move. The ground becomes unstable. As the piece unfolds,

chaos rises, and systems break down, yet something delicate remains.

At the centre of this work is a reflection on the fragility of what we carry as

humans — our ability to connect, to care, to love. It is not romantic love, but

something quieter: tender, intangible, and easily drowned out in noise. This

piece doesn’t try to rescue it. It simply follows its shape — as it’s buried,

tested, and reappears in a new form.

Created in collaboration with choreographer Lico Kehua Li and designer PK,

the work lives between movement, sound, and space. I hope it’s a piece

that is felt, breathed, and held together by bodies in transformation.
