French dancer John Bateman French from Chiroptera John Batman company
and his Vietnamese peer Nguyen Anh Duc will perform a contemporary
dance on September 25 at L’Esace, inspired by the endurance of the
Vietnamese people during the American War.
The performance will
depict the underground life of the Vietnamese people in Cu Chi Tunnel
during the fight against the US, which is an immense network of
connecting underground tunnels located in Cu Chi district of HCM City.
The tunnels were used by liberation soldiers as hiding spots during
combat, as well as serving as communication and supply routes,
hospitals, food and weapon local caches and living quarter for numerous
local fighters.
Free tickets are available at L’Espace, 24 Trang
Tien Street; Goethe Institute, 56-58 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street; or the
Japan Foundation, 27 Quang Trung Street, from September 19.-VNA
