Japanese dancers/artists meet dancers/artists in Vietnam

 

The Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam, in cooperation with Arabesque Dance Company, proudly presents a multi-media dance/theatre project, "A flower" & "Chronicles of a soundless dream" on 15 & 16 September in Ho Chi Minh City.

 

Mikuni Yanaihara & Keisuke Takahashi (Off-Nibroll, Japan) and Tiffany Chung (Vietnam/USA) were first brought together by Theatre Works Singapore for its 2007 edition of the Flying Circus Project. Immediately felt a profound artistic connection with one another, they have then begun to exchange ideas towards potential collaborative projects. The first result of this long-term process is an exhibition & performance entitled Fukawaga Shokudo, which was supported by Art Matters New York and Fukagawa Tokyo Modan Kan Gallery in early 2011.

 

This multi-media dance/theatre project is their second collaboration in which off-Nibroll’s and Tiffany Chung’s performance works will be presented to the Vietnamese audience for the first time.

 

Their energetic and thought-provoking performances bring together contemporary dancers from Japan and Vietnam on one stage, to further explore the concept of human struggle, endurance, life, death and everything in between.
