A collaborative international project focused on building a graphic novel of six vietnamese legendary myths by using the means of a blend between modern and hip-hop dance, Vietnamese text, live visual art/3D mapping and live electronic music fused with an urban twist.
Standpoint Theories has established itself as one of a select number of productions that feature multi-disciplinary arts within the local vietnamese and expat community. It was accepted into the Amsterdam Fringe Festival and has been published in the Contemporary Dance World Almanac 2015.
The project is presented as an evening-length interactive dance performance inspired by six well-known vietnamese Myths :
- The legendary story of Âu Cơ, an immortal mountain fairy who married Lạc Long Quân
- The god of Tản Viên Mountain known as, Sơn Tinh
- Phù Đổng Thiên Vương
- Chử Đồng Tử - a marsh boy
- Princess Liễu Hạnh, a heavenly spirit and Mother Goddess
- Bà Chúa Xứ known as Lady of the Realm
