From the organizer:

1936 comprises a series of semantic and somatic exchanges between two characters taking place simultaneously in a realm where time warps and space bends. Extracted from a myriad of conversations, personal archives and muscle memories revisited, isolated form their original contexts, then undergone a process of perpetual deconstruction and reconfiguration — what materialises before the eyes is a chaotic mass of recollections and ruminations masquerading as static screens and repetitive movements.

This performance forms the second chapter in choreographer Ngô Thanh Phương’s three-year collective project “Through the Door then…” — with the first ‘Mình Mình Thì…’ depicting human bodies and psyches under hostile surveillance and physical confinement. Such qualities seem to recede from the stage in 1936 as now both of the performers and viewers are presumably broadcasting and participating from their private homes voluntarily.

“Through the door then…” is a long-term project founded by artist Ngô Thanh Phương in early 2021, stemming from her personal query about the diverse possibilities of expression of the “body” as well as the human connection in different spaces and realities. As an experimental journey taking place in the “new normal” era, the project was developed based on miscellaneous dialogues between the project’s companions in their process of adapting and playing with “new” performance spaces.

“1936” is presented by MORUA and funded by Asian Cultural Council, Kelola Foundation, Southeast Asia Choreographers Network (SEACN) within the framework of the Challenge Award 2021 and supported under the Dance Nucleus’s ARTEFACT#2 Creative Residency.
