Kuti-Kuti is a game where players take turns to flick and flip plastic tokens onto each other. The player that successfully flips their token onto the opponent’s token wins the round and keeps both tokens. The winner is the one who has the most tokens at the end. A slightly more modern variation of the game uses “country erasers” (rectangular erasers with country flags printed on them) instead of the original colourful plastic tokens. In most of this piece, each hand represents one token in a round of kuti-kuti, as the hands take turns to chase and overlap each other. The slower middle section features flashes of rapid figurations, which mirror the flipping and flicking kuti-kuti tokens.
This work was commissioned as the set piece for the National Piano and Violin Competition 2021 (Piano Senior Category).
