"...one of the more original and innovative pieces of modern performance art in Vietnam" (New York Times)
Vietnam's newest contemporary dance company, Together Higher, presents "Stories of Us", which focuses on people on the fringes of Vietnamese society and examines ideas of exclusion, isolation and segregation. Featuring rhythmic music, performed live with song and Vietnamese instruments, the dancers move from free improvised movement into military-like marching formations under the artistic direction of Le Vu Long. Le Vu Long's troupe of hearing and hearing-impaired performers have a powerful presence on stage and are at the forefront of contemporary dance in South East Asia.
