With the music duo Tiny Giant (Vietnam, Australia) and Hanoi drummer Dan Duong performing live music on stage, 8 unique dance artists, the play 129BPM: Dong phach tat coon brings a new experiment with hip hop on the Vietnamese stage, posing situations that challenge the limits of the body and the many layers of emotions in relationships between people, to interpret the question: How to find a way to live with other individuals?

129BPM: Dong phach tat cocoon, with stage and lighting design by German artist Mara Madeleine Pieler, invites the audience to join a multi-sensory journey, from seeing, hearing to feeling. Introducing each beat of the play are sounds crystallized from sound experiments with strong community spirit, from a variety of Vietnamese musical instruments to hip hop variations, all of which will be performed live on stage. With "dong" in the sense of moving, transforming, moving, vibrating; "phach" suggesting soul or beat unit; "tac" as the act of dissolving and leaving a whole; "kén" meaning shell, shelter, the audience can bring the above instructions to where the magic begins, or simply prepare a comfortable spirit and be ready to "tac cocoon" with the artists.
The project is produced by H2Q Dance Company, in cooperation with Goethe Institute Ho Chi Minh City, and will take place at 8:00 p.m. on December 6-7 at the Southern Military Theater (140 Cong Hoa, Ward 4, Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City).
The performance is the beginning of a long journey for H2Q Dance Company, aiming to build a community of artists with independent creative thinking, constantly proposing new questions and performance methods and willing to explore diverse artistic practices, thereby forming quality contemporary performance works with the potential to be introduced at dance festivals in the region as well as in Europe.
Established on September 9, 2019, H2Q Dance Company is an independent dance troupe co-founded by three artists: Bui Ngoc Quan (Les Ballets C de la B of Belgium), Nguyen Viet Ha (former actor at Theater St.Gallen in Switzerland) and Ta Hong Hoang Anh (Tanzania der Pfalztheater Kaiserslautern in Germany).
Both graduated from the Vietnam Dance College and spent a long time studying and working at prestigious theaters in Europe. They met in the dream of establishing and developing a contemporary performance group with artistic quality and professionalism in Vietnam. Through independently staged dance works, H2Q hopes to develop new perspectives on dance and explore new possibilities in using the language of movement to tell stories of contemporary society.
