ELECTRIC BODIES – A VISUAL PARTY

Saigon, are you ready? For one night only this summer, The Factory is excited to bring to our city a feast of interactive visual art, electronic/native music and contemporary dance, presenting a cross-disciplinary collaboration between Crazy Monkey (visual artist), ANNAM (experimental musicians), Nguyễn Duy Thành (hip-hop/contemporary dancer) and Miên H. Phạm (performer). With these creative forces under the same roof, expect a seriously unforgettable night of not just one, but two performances: #ELECTRICCITYPROJECT, and BODY & SOUL

#ELECTRICBODIES investigates the multidimensional relationship between technology and human, revolving around the question of how technology affects our bodies, behavior and psyche. #ELECTRICBODIES opens up the hidden world of technology consumption; contemplates the changes of traditional cultural practices in contemporary life; painting a vision of a new world for the future.

As C. S. Lewis once said, ‘You have no Soul. You are a Soul. You have a Body’, the soul guards our consciousness, affirming our existence, while the body materializes, giving flesh to our actions in the outside world. The soul makes up the core of what we consider ‘humane’; our body means nothing if our soul is broken. With these thoughts as starting points, BODY & SOUL follows one’s journey of becoming human, of seeking the ideal and perfecting the soul.
