FACING INFINITY
The dance work **Facing Infinity** preserves, transforms, and communicates Vietnam’s intangible heritage through a renewed spirit and a new form - unfamiliar, yet still grounded in the core essence of tradition.
It is not merely an act of innovation or adaptation, but a new way of seeing and a new mode of artistic treatment by contemporary artists. Within this process, co-creation plays an important role, not only within the framework of tradition, but also in expanding across different territories and cultural landscapes.
Imagination and movement go beyond even the conventional notion of “dance,” leading audiences on a journey into unknown realms.

SCHEDULE
OPEN REHEARSAL
Amid the rush and urgency of everyday life, art can become a place of pause, a resting point - where people are given moments to slow down, to appreciate, experience, and confront each shift within their own perception.
These shifts and transformations are also among the essential and inevitable elements of art. Artists continually negate themselves, questioning and moving beyond their own achievements in pursuit of something new.
The artists of Facing Infinity share one thing in common: they have lived fully for transformation in different ways - from changing their personal lives in order to follow the artistic path, to continuously searching, creating, or delving deeper into what already exists, transforming it into a companion to their own artistic world. All of this is driven by an inner force within each individual.
Lên Ngàn warmly invites you to join the open rehearsals with the artists of Facing Infinity, to share and experience movements from tradition to contemporaneity, developed by the artists from the materials of traditional theatre. Lên Ngàn believes that these two rehearsal sessions will offer memorable moments and personal experiences of arts and culture.
