TPAM starts a music program this year, in consideration of the importance of music, in addition to theatre and dance, in its Asia focus since 2015. Aki Onda, the director of the music program, reports on his research in Indonesian cities, Hanoi and Taipei and talks about what in Asian music interests him.
