In recent years, performance art has been intrigued more and more interests even though it is a relatively new art form to local public. It challenges the established concepts of one-way relation between audience and artist by introducing an intersubjectivity environment into artistic reception. Its mobility and fleeting nature has offer artists an unbounded and enticing way to express new ideas.

This year, CDEF has selected Performance Art as key theme for its annual Talent Prize. 10 performance artworks have been selected and will be presented in the Final Competition which will bring artists from Hanoi, Hue and Hochiminh City, the three main centres of performance art development. Audience will experience themes covering a wide range from the general nature of movement, human pain and despair, manmade natural disasters and the limits of the human body.

Finalists are: Mr. Nguyen Van He, Mr. Le Quy Anh Hao, Mr. Pham Van Truong, Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan, Mr. Nguyen Huy An, Mr. Le Van Son, Mr. Pham Huy Thong, Ms. Nguyen Phuong Linh, Ms. Tran Huynh Trieu An, Ms. Le Thi Minh Nguyet.

Audience will vote for the most interesting performance piece, which will be awarded a prize of 3000 USD.

Free tickets for the show can be collected from Thursday, 16th October at:
