From the organizer:

Project Đẩy Sàn and the Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam, in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Ho Chi Minh City and MORUA, are thrilled to present the acclaimed Japanese performance artist group contact Gonzo and sound artist Masamitsu Araki to Vietnamese audience through a collaborative performance: “untitled movements with a sound artist Araki staring and playing with it”

“untitled movements with a sound artist Araki staring and playing with it”
…a “one-of-a-kind” performance experience, a collaboration between contact Gonzo and the sound artist Masamitsu Araki.

Rooted in contact improvisation, each performance by contact Gonzo offers an intimate and dramatic experience where bodies encounter/collide/punch/slap bodies, and create movements within specific spaces. Each space they occupy, from mountains and rivers, into public space, amidst cluttered hallways, they sense, physically, and shape new movements conveying their feelings.

Crash-land in Saigon this time, contact Gonzo co-creates movements through violent bodily contacts, street art, skateboarding, and subcultures – all immersed in a live soundscape recorded and looped onsite by artist Araki.
Join us for an immersive experience in disruptive motion and sound about to shake up Saigon!

contact Gonzo: is a collective from Osaka, Japan, initiated in 2006 with four members. They combine contact improvisation references with legendary journalist Hunter S. Thompson’s “gonzo” aesthetics. In recent years, contact Gonzo became the focus of increasing attention in both the performing arts and contemporary art scenes.

Masamitsu Araki: is a Kyoto-based artist, composer, and sound designer. His practice is both music-centered and located on the fringes of music, pursuing the creativity of listening through humorous approaches and prompting us to rethink contexts and effects by reconnecting that creativity with music. His recent work includes Vacant TT (2024), a performance created with workshop participants, and the outdoor concert Soundtrack for Midnight TAMURO (2021), featuring an “orchestra” of custom cars.
