Dahu Project presents Aéras, a unique musical performance transforming silk into a living musical instrument through innovative sound processing and performance. Explore an unprecedented sonic realm as the sound of silk weaves together tradition, innovation and centuries of craftsmanship and global cultural exchange.
The event is part of the Asia-Europe Cultural Festival (AECFest) 2025 - Closing Curtain programme organised by the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF). AECFest is a public arts festival that celebrates the artistic diversity of Asia and Europe by fostering dialogue and exchange among artists from the two regions. Presented by ASEF since 2018, the Festival features a wide range of programmes—including performances, exhibitions, and roundtables—that highlight the most compelling contemporary art forms and practices. Its travelling format, hosted annually in a different country alternating between Asia and Europe, actively engages local communities across nations.
The event is included in the official programme commemorating the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Singapore and Italy and Singapore and Japan — presenting unique collaborations between Italy and Japan.
