About Enno Cheng Daughters Concert
Daughters is a concert stage design centred on the theme of communication. The main stage carries four layers of square LED screens, each 6 by 6 metres and divided into eight panels of 3 by 6 metres. The screens open, close, stretch and overlap, and they move vertically and horizontally to suit each segment. Traditional LED panels were selected instead of transparent ones for clearer light and shadow effects. Text, body language, sound and symbols are combined on stage to show how messages can pass beyond language barriers. The concert was held in Taipei in August 2022.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Communication evolves through various methods and media, making it increasingly diverse. The program showcases different communication modes via music and stage design, ensuring messages are conveyed effectively.
By blending music, visuals, body language, and text, the concert captures each song's essence and instills deeper meanings like human compassion, encouraging reflection and letting profound messages resonate long after. - Dimensions & Packaging
- To enhance stage dynamics, the screens open, close, stretch, and overlap based on the segment, sometimes forming a complete square for added visual depth. Traditional LED screens are used instead of transparent ones to achieve clearer light and shadow effects through better lighting integration.
The main stage features four 6m x 6m screens divided into eight 3m x 6m rectangles. These screens can move vertically to adapt to different segments and music styles, maximizing their visual impact. - Tags

- Production Technology
- Effective communication occurs when the sender can express and the receiver can understand. The music arrangement encourages audience interaction, including clapping and movement. Additionally, dancers use sign language and Taiwanese Hokkien to highlight diverse forms of self-expression and understanding. This approach enriches the concert by showcasing how various mediums enhance experiences and convey messages uniquely.
- Design Challenge
- One major technical challenge is the ceiling load issue. The four layers of LED screens, consisting of eight rectangular panels, need to open horizontally and move vertically.
Balancing screen movement and ceiling load becomes a key concern, making pre-show inspections crucial. Additionally, discussions with the lighting designer lead to choosing Fine Art 156 lights. This choice, due to its unlimited rotation capability, maximizes LED screen configuration while meeting safety load limits. - Research
- The concert features four main elements: body language, text, sound, and symbols. Rather than following a traditional sequence, these elements are combined in various ways to create new possibilities. Using four layers of square LED screens that move individually, both horizontally and vertically, creating diverse visual forms. This symbolizes neutral communication elements, where different combinations turn simple messages into unexpected reactions, highlighting endless interaction potential.
- Inspiration
- The Daughters concert, inspired by Wu Ming-Yi's chapter "How the Brain Got Language" from "The Land of Little Rain", complements Enno Cheng's album on communication.
The stage features four square LED screens that move independently, symbolizing communication beyond language barriers. Combining words, gestures, and sounds, it creates dynamic visuals and a chemistry of shared messages, offering a profound and thought-provoking experience focused on human compassion. - Project Duration
- The concert was held in August 2022 in Taipei.
- Operation Flow
- Communication evolves with technology and time, from an infant's cry and facial expressions to sign language, Morse code, and more.
The "Daughters" concert's stage design and program aim to not only soothe with music but also prompt a re-evaluation of communication's significance. Beyond conveying messages, diverse forms of communication can transcend borders and language barriers, fostering unexpected love and strength for individuals and society.
