Wei-Jie Huang and the Sanyao Band will come to Wang Dai Shuxuan for the first performance of their new album “Meema” tour concert. More than five years in the making, “Meema” is a direct look at the dark side, depicting people going inside and walking back into their own work, leading the listener to explore the dark side at night, recounting their feelings and stories, waiting for a glimmer of light to fall into the darkness. The show will begin at nightfall and invite everyone to feel the changes in the sky with music in a spacious glass-enclosed space.
“Mu Ma” in Southern Hakka refers to the twilight period between dusk and evening—a moment when night is taking the place of day. Visually, it is the darkest hour. As the summer heat intensifies, Wei-Jie Huang and the Submontane Band perform their new album Mu Ma during the Taipei stop of their tour at the DH Café. They guided listeners into the inner shadows at nightfall, gently sharing personal emotions and stories, quietly awaiting the faint light to fall amidst the darkness. The performance begins at twilight, inside the glass-enclosed space of the DH Café, where singers, musicians, and audience experience the shifting play of light and time together through flowing music. At this moment, the building serves as a speaker suspended in the night sky and also a shape-shifting transparent box.
The relationship between people and this space changes continuously with each event—architecture shapes life, and life defines architecture. If we imagine the DH Café as the space capsule endlessly drifting through the universe in Wang Da-Hong’s novel Phantasmagoria, could we become those elegant souls who discuss philosophy, savor fine food, and enjoy music daily aboard the ship? While we may not live as luxuriously as Prince Dino and his friends in the novel, we can still hold onto the pursuit of beauty and meaning, rooting it deeply in our culture. The DH Café builds upon this hope, layering each performance and event with that spirit.
