Huihui Cheng is a composer who focuses on the field of theatrically extended composition by discovering the optical figures of music and giving sound a theatrical meaning to increase the expressive potential of the music. Cheng experiments with different materials, costumes, movements, extended objects and lighting. To introduce intermedial elements, she uses dance, performance and video installation. All of these means of expression aim at communication as the central theme of her artistic work: communication between the performers, between people and machines and with the audience. She studied composition with Guoping Jia at the Central Music Academy in Beijing and with Caspar Johannes Walter at the State University of Music and Performing Arts in Stuttgart.
