From the organizer:

“In perfect stillness or deep, full silence, yet, there are myriad of sounds…”

The energy of sound waves
& The counterforce of emotions
Stimulations in the outer space
& Instant reactions of the inner body
A tremble, A vibration, A sigh,…
All of these coincidences both come into being and fade away in the last concert of this Cat year at manzi. Four female artists with diverse backgrounds and various musical colors will listen, feel, be in monologue or dialogue with each other and with the audience.
With the sophistication in exploiting different forms of sound from the famous Vietnamese traditional musical instrument – Đàn Bầu (monochord), the diversity in vocal expressions are combined with electronic elements in shades we have never before encountered, this improvised performance suggests a new space of stillness/ silence/solitude, where the ‘so-called’ absence of sound and emptiness of time be presented and be heard.
