About the Performance
Just Play It is a “conversation” between two pianists comprised of dialogue and music in two parts; the first part takes the form of a piano lesson. Blind piano student, Hsu Zhe-Chen, travels to his teacher’s house for a 9am lesson. John Vaughan, an American piano teacher who has taught the blind prodigy for over a decade, wakes up to the sound of his doorbell and class is immediately in session. The second part is comprised of several sections, each beginning with a question. Each question provokes revelations, both musical and personal, that strengthen the bond between student and teacher. But things turn physical and tensions rise as musical cooperation self-destructs into a wild but playful fight that takes place at, between, around, and on two pianos. In the final scene, each gives his own answer to the oldest question of all: What is Life?
