Performance Art Museum

As the performers endlessly dance and chant with glistening bodies and trembling voices, they seem to enter into altered states of consciousness and a heightened sense of intimacy that resurrect, rather than reject, the intoxicating histories of drugs and sex that haunt Ca Trù.

As the performer walked, turned, and spun throughout the space, the puppet swung along—sometimes facing them like a dance partner, sometimes dangling or pitching away before being drawn back.

Kim establishes the aesthetic circumstances, then allows her collaborators the freedom to insert themselves into the work and co-create its exuberant unfolding.
