VỆT - Multimedia Concert

In earlier feudal periods, women and their children did not live for themselves, and were not free to act on their own accord. They were strictly bound by conventions, obligations and responsibilities. Now, the impact of Confucianism on Vietnamese culture has been blurred to a certain degree, especially in the younger generations. However, there are still things that are ingrained in the mind of Vietnamese; but not erased by modern ways of thinking and feeling.

"VỆT" is a multimedia concert that goes through five compositions by Luong Hue Trinh with a different approach in each piece. From precise and detailed standard notation to the flexibility of graphic scores as well as pieces between through-composed- and improvisation. The elements of traditional music are interpolated to blend with electronic sounds, combined with photographs, videos and texts to narrate these intricate relations filled with loneliness and torments.
