Inspired by the traditional Christmas bell, Amigo & Amigo present the interactive Swinging Bells. This is the Bells’ debut in China; the audience in Beijing is invited to swing and play, activating the bells into a dynamic display of colour, light and bell chimes. The artists wanted to bring a project that invited the people of Beijing to play and spread joy during this holiday period. When all three bells are activated see how they light up together and play their Bell song.
