Contemporary dance: Maybe Forever

• Hanoi
4 Jun, 8pm, Opera House Hanoi, 1 Trang Tien
• HCMC
8 Jun, 8pm, Opera House HCMC, Dong Khoi Str., Dis. 1

People wrestle with each other and with the fact that nothing lasts forever. Maybe Forever is a collaboration in which the artistic worlds of choreographers Meg Stuart and Philipp Gehmacher flow together. The lullabies of singer-songwriter Niko Hafkenscheid accompany the pair onstage, and have them dancing in a promised land. While Hafkenscheid sings of love and longing, the dance of Meg Stuart und Philipp Gehmacher speaks of the end of love, of pain and memories. So close and yet so far, they try to come together in an embrace.

Another “Germany in Vietnam 2010” event. See our Feature Page for info on more events celebrating German Year on Vietnam.
