Đẹp is the Vietnamese word for beautiful.

Đẹp is the Vietnamese word for beautiful. With his latest work, choreographer Dam Van Huynh explores influences from his Southeast Asian heritage. In Vietnamese culture, death is also a form of rebirth. When a person dies, the family and community enact rituals that will enable the deceased to pass into another realm, a higher state of being. The dancers in Đẹp are nude for a purpose. Fragile, vulnerable and free from distraction, their movement begins at the point where the mind transcends the physical self, amplified by Martyna Poznanska”s numinous score.
