Blue; Blue: a poetry & painting performance

A Performance Art Piece by Ms. Butterfly & Lavia Lin

Blue; Blue is an immersive journey that invites the audience to travel through the many shades of blue, through the blue abyss—from the depths of personal stories to the discovery of inner strength, and finally, to a place of peace and serenity. Through the words of spoken word poet Ms. Butterfly and the brushstrokes of painter Lavia Lin, this performance offers a heartfelt reflection on the color blue as a symbol of power, vulnerability, and redemption.

About the performers:

Lavia Lin

Lavia is a Berlin-based artist and performer originally from Shanghai, China. Her journey with art began at the age of seven, when her hands were constantly dipped in paint or clutching crayons, creating everything from whimsical doodles to fairy-tale scenes and dreamlike worlds. Over the years, as she explored and refined her artistic expression, color has remained a vibrant thread throughout her work.

Lavia’s art is a dynamic experiment in the interaction between music and visual arts, driven by her curiosity about what it means to "imagine music." A key aspect of her practice is the act of creation itself—particularly through live painting, where she thrives on the immediacy of translating sound into visual form. She has collaborated with international musicians across a variety of genres, including jazz, ambient, improvisation, singer-songwriter, and classical music, with the aim of bridging cultures by connecting visual art and music.
