New Circus from Hanoi offers us a different poetic journey to the distant land of the East. This group of young artists that comes from the circus grounds, of music, of theater and street art will remind us of images and sensations from the everyday life of a peaceful village lost in the rice fields.
With simple means and original scenery made of bamboo, Làng Tôi draws inspiration from the rich Vietnamese tradition but also from the new techniques of circus art, offering young and old alike a unique stage experience that defies the laws of gravity. The audience will not only come into contact with a completely different kind of wandering and circus but will be able to discover the high quality expression of the physical technique of the Eastern theater.
Importantly, Vietnamese artists who lived and worked in France and Germany returned to their artistic roots, enhancing the tradition with new techniques and forms, offering a spectacle that combines masterful acrobatics, martial arts, traditional Vietnamese music, pantomime and dance. For young and old, a sight that we rarely have the opportunity to enjoy in the heart of Athens.
