PERFORMANCE - Work-in-Development Performance of The Banh Chung Project, 10 Feb 2010 [04.01.2010]
WORK-IN-DEVELOPMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE BANH CHUNG PROJECT
The Banh Chung project explores site, place and space through an installation/performance which explores three interlinked storylines: Tet in Australia, Tet in Ancient Vietnam and Tet in War. Banh Chung is a savoury sticky-rice cake filled with mung bean and marinated pork, wrapped in bamboo leaf, which is eaten to celebrate the Lunar New Year. In this durational performance, AASRN member artist Chi Vũ will count down to the New Year with the creation and unwrapping of the bánh chưng.
The Banh Chung project will be piloted as part of Punctum’s In-Habit residency. A work-in-development presentation will take place at regular intervals on Wednesday 10th February 2010 between 3pm – 8.30pm at the Richmond Library, 415 Church St, Richmond, Melbourne, Victoria. Entry is free, but people are welcome to give a donation. For further information see the flyer attached below and the website: http://www.punctum.com.au/inhabit.html
