In Realness premieres 13-14 May 22

After 2 turbulent years of pandemic, Dam Van Huynh premieres a new solo made for and with company artist Tommaso Petrolo. This new creation will premiere on 13-14 May 2022 at Rich Mix, London.

In Realness is an artistic collage of sounds, collected texts, and movement references which stand in resistance of the status quo. Dam Van Huynh, as a queer Vietnamese artist, raises his voice and opposes stereotypes of Asians as being quiet and internal. He embodies through his piece a dissent from prejudices and inequality and its effects on our society.

Desmond Tutu said 'if you are neutral in the face of injustice, you are on the side of the oppressor'. Remembering such words lifts us out of silence and stirs up collective activism and collective care. Individual voices, brought together, create a body of resistance against oppressive norms and behaviours, amplifying our resilience, building unity and communicative power.

Greetings

We would like to wish all creatives a Happy New Year.

Despite all the challenges we currently face, we hope that you are all safe and as eager as us to reunite with live audiences.

Here is a picture of our exhausted dancers after a week of rehearsal last September at Centre 151 to wave goodbye to 2020 and to welcome 2021. We are cooking a new show and can't wait to share it with you.

In the meantime, sending lots of love and see you all very soon!
