'The Undead'
"...this
story could be a story of a women, a story of two men, or perhaps a
story of the sand, the wind, the ocean waves, the story of some graves.
Notwithstanding, this is the story of all of us."
"The most courageous Vietnamese stage performance I've seen this year." - J. James Huynh
A visceral Vietnamese drama of two soldiers from the
north and the south, both saved by the same women whose only child was
just killed in the artillery barrages. She nurses the two enemies back
to health, beginning a saga of loneliness and misery which will lead to
her losing her land to developers twenty years later as she is forced to
dig up her child's coffin and bear it to the pagoda in her old age.
A daring and jarring story of war, loss, promises
and betrayal. Accompanied by the lightbox sand painting of Tri Duc, the
mounds of the dead set the stage for a tragic story of two warring
brothers and the women who suffers for all.
Showing every
Thursday in August from 8-10pm at the Young World Stage, HCMC University of
Theatre and Cinema, 125 Cống Quỳnh, Q.1 Tp.HCM.
Come out and support the performing arts!
