Electronic Music is a world of its own – comprising an amazing diversity of genres and trends. DJs, sound artists, musicians and initiators with various other creative backgrounds have developed an energetic interdisciplinary field, showing a dynamic variety and interplay of both local characters and global references.

Through the project Electronic Music in Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand, masters of electronic music from Germany and Vietnam will have the opportunity to explore a variety of local DJ and Club cultures.

Their exchange of musical ideas will surely produce some unheardof sounds and send their audiences into raptures.

11, 12 Nov, 8pm - Experimental Dance from Japan

Something very special for anyone interested in contemporary experimental dance. Takayuki Fujimoto together with the dance troupe Monochrome Circus, will perform 2 pieces in Hanoi.

Takayuki Fujimoto travels the world doing LED lighting for a variety of contemporay dance and theater pieces, sometimes with the famous Japanese group Dumb Type, of which he is a founding member, sometimes with the dance troupe Monochrome Circus. He also did the LED lighting for the most recent piece by well-known Hanoi/Paris choreographer Ea Sola. He and Monochrome Circus will perform on two evenings in Hanoi, each time at a different venue, each time doing a different piece.

This was written when they appeared in Prague about a year ago:

Refined Colors joins together two impressive personalities: Takayuki Fujimoto, member of the famous Dumb Type company, and Kosei Sakamoto, founder of the dance troupe Monochrome Circus. With their dancers they have created a multimedia dance performance combining modern technology and human motion. The performance utilizes new LED light technology which can produce 16.7 million variations of colour. Their medium examines shades, creates colourful impressions, and plays with light. Each performance is adapted to the specific culture and location of the show.

Two events, two venues, each a single performance. First “Refined Colors”, second “lost”.

23 & 24 Nov - 2 One-Act Plays

Hanoi International Theater Society (HITS)
Nha Hat Kich Theatre (behind the Hanoi Opera House)

Two great one-act plays in one evening!

	The Zoo Story from the HITS blog: A play exploring themes of isolation, loneliness, social disparity and dehumanization in a commercial world.
	The Apple from the HITS blog: A fast-moving satire about perceptions people create and project upon art. While working in an art museum, a janitor leaves an apple behind on an empty pedestal. Art critics and patrons including a spaced-out hippie and Elvis re-incarnated come along and think it was meant to be a piece of art. Discussions ensue and escalate.
