From Unleashing Creativity Week:
Video concert Đại Tượng (Paradigm) is a multimedia performance presented by the group of visual artists Triệu Minh Hải and Ngô Thu Hương, violinist Nguyễn Ngọc Đức, pianist Trần Thu Thảo, and violinist Trịnh Quang Thành.
Inspired by the word “Paradigm”, which is defined as abstract perspectives or set of ideas giving meaning to a particular object, the work wants to query the universal notions of Mẫu (Mother) beliefs in Vietnam within the flow of feudal ideology.
Don’t miss out on:
The performance of the trio (violin, cello and piano) interacting live with sound recording and a 3-channel video installation. The 3-channel video content simulates the East Asian philosophy of universe – the continuation and transformation of the Confucian ideology today; and Vietnamese folk stories in relation with the East Asian culture; presenting the spiritual aspects of Đạo Mẫu (the worship of Mother Goddesses) in Vietnam.
Like fragmentary chapters interweaving past and present, the artwork re-enact notions of borders, fields, and beliefs. There, the belief in Đạo Mẫu (Vietnamese Mother Goddess worship) is a typical example in the mixing of cultures, overlapping with different religious ideological concepts.
This impromptu performance is promised to open a dialogue between East and West, tradition and modern.
