From the organizer:

You are invited to the surreal dance performance titled “Four seasons” with artist Doan Minh Hoan (Hoan Doan).

About the dance:

Hanoi is bestowed with Mother Nature’s four seasons Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. The seasons are like a passionate woman with immense love and infinite creativity offering an endless variety of scenery. She came to earth as Spring, elegant as an ancient girl approaching her husband, each step very deliberate, but still with an apparent shyness. The warm breeze and the scent spreading through every twig and leaf, and then gently through each street, mixed with the flow of people, awakening the life that has been dormant, giving energy for delivery of a resurrected nature.

The Spring goes in to Summer carried be the orchestra of solo musicians, the cicada’s persistent melodic music, accompanied by the tiny lights of the fireflies flickering brightly in the evenings. The shimmering light everywhere makes the appearance of a grand and intense lady in a red and green dress dwelling in a prestigious house, full of heat, love and energy.

Not shy as Spring or energetic as the summer, the Autumn is beautiful, but melancholic as the withering beauty of the honorable aging lady. The Autumn is in each step flexible, down to earth. Thousands of fallen leaves rustling yellow dye the streets leaving marks after her footsteps. The mystery of the early morning Autumn chill comes as poetry to the lonely stray souls.

Miss Winter is both youth and age, as a woman has experienced many of life’s ups and downs, she brings the shadow of existence with a stringent vitality and intensity. Her appearance is cold, as the night comes, wandering alone through the street, we see her attraction through the enchanting scent of passion fruit milk, singing softly as an ocean breeze blowing through the rock and peeling underneath the skin, at the same time anxious and overwhelmed.

The eternal dance of life – creating and destroying – a continuous development of natural causes where the creation is constantly self-mutilating in order to enable new life to appear. The performance of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter is a tribute to the Creator, a childhood nostalgia where the endless line of generations – each delivering the next into being and then slowly withering away – is accompanied by the constant rhythm of the Four Seasons.
