Time to unwind your imagination with Dance Festival “Europe Meets Asia in Contemporary Dance” 2017, Intransmission Hanoi Art Shows…
Dance Festival “Europe Meets Asia in Contemporary Dance” 2017
The annual dance festival “Europe meets Asia in Contemporary Dance” will take place for the seventh time this year in Vietnam. The festival, coordinated by the Goethe-Institut, has successfully contributed to raising awareness on contemporary dance in Vietnam since 2011.
“Europe meets Asia in Contemporary Dance”, an initiative of EUNIC – the Network of European cultural institutes and embassies in Hanoi, is organized this year by the Goethe-Institut, L’Espace, Embassy of Spain, Embassy of Switzerland and the Consulate General of Canada in HCMC, in cooperation with the Youth Theater Vietnam and the HCMC Dance School.
Dance, an important artistic medium worldwide, is an artistic language which tells stories, expresses mental and emotional conditions in our life, and gives us new perspectives. Topics and techniques, feelings and thoughts, creative energy and perseverance are expressed.
Artists perform an important task in society and for all of us. They ask about humanity and the essence of being human. They open our eyes and hearts. They strengthen our empathy and compassion. Dancers evoke positive energy which transcends from the stage or other spaces of performance onto the spectators, draws us into their action and occupies our minds beyond the time of the performance. And their performance demands an attitude of respect and reflection from us.
This year, we are supporting two exciting Vietnamese productions, one by the Wintercearig Project and one by the dance company Arabesque. The spirit of co-production has motivated two other performances, one with Belgian-French and one with German-Vietnamese participation. The festival also showcases the multifaceted dance world outside of Vietnam, and brings dance performances from Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland and Canada.
Three exhibitions on dance and body enrich our festival this year. They show, among other things that dynamic movements in a space can also emanate in to very special new visual forms for the dance – either in stills or moving pictures.

Intransmission Hanoi Art Shows
‘Intransmission’ is a series of experimental multidisciplinary live art shows exploring individual perception and collective experience. Its first edition will take place in Hanoi.
‘Intransmission Hanoi’ aims to provide an immersive experience, and we thus hope to keep as many
details secret as possible to maximise the surprise effect for all of you!
This is why we can’t give you a complete rundown of what we’ve planned for inside. What we can tell you however, is that there will be two separate rooms. While each room will contain
It’s own site-specific art installation and distinct music act, they will both be connected: audio and visuals from Room 1 will be live-streamed to Room 2, undergoing distortions in the process.
Participating artists and collaborators: Think Playgrounds (installation, Space 1), Daniel Day Long & Julien Noyer (visuals, Space 2), Rec Room (sound design for both spaces), Hai Duy (percussion, Space 1), Linh Ha (vocals, Space 1), Nguyen Thu Thuy (dan ty ba, Space 1), Vu Nhat Tan (music, Space 2), Alistair Hobson (music, Space 2), Numbfoot (music, Space 1 & 2) and Quan (music, Space 2).
