MultiMedia Collaboration with SYTHBAND, Main Theatre, The Link Auditorium (2025).

This show is not a concert, not a fashion show, not a film screening—but something in between. A staged unraveling. A stitched-together ritual. A space where music, movement, and embodiment open portals to something beyond language. 

The immersive performance, Bridging the Mystique, is layered with film projections of Qi dancing in the same garments now worn by the band, blurring time, body, and memory. Dreamlike visuals dissolve the artist’s form into pulsating colors, textures, and rhythms. Accompanying soundscapes, built from warped recordings of SYTH, create an atmosphere that breathes around the performance.

It fuses the live psychedelic rock of the band SYTH: Xander Georgoulis (vocals), Carlos Peña (guitar), Max Mitchell (bass), and Mark Jennings (drums), with artist Bei Qi’s wearable art, film projections, and soundscape design, transforming the space into a site of ritual, memory, and metamorphosis.

The second song will feature additional guest performers: keyboardist Anastasia Waid and saxophonist Andy Cresciullo.

Throughout the show, the band performs original songs and covers while wearing garments from three of Qi’s series: Enneagram: Beings of Light, Passionate Cycles, and Vessels of Protection.

Each collection offers a distinct psychological terrain, using wearable art to explore the body’s capacity to carry longing and personal discovery.   

“Can a garment become a vessel for what we struggle to carry? Can music do the same, channeling what cannot be said into a sound that cradles us?”   — Bei Qi
