Tro Ve Nuoc: Between Home and Memory
Tro Ve Nưoc: Between Home and Memory investigates the politics of memory and migration through the eyes of two Vietnamese American women in search of home in the diaspora. This performance brings together two (seemingly) separate bodies in a dialogical investigation of the boundaries between generations, people, and countries. The liminal space of water. We explore how our bodies become the site where larger aesthetic, political, and historical questions are fractured open and confronted. Who remembers? Who is remembered? Who leaves and who stays? Patricia enters the work from a historical perspective that focuses on oral histories and performance poetry, while Natalia is situated in an embodied approach that foregrounds movement and the body. Weaving together oral histories, embodied movement, poetry, and improvisation, Tr V Nưc examines the conflicting and layered ways that stories are told, felt, and remembered. As our two bodiesliterallycollide, contract, expand, unite, and diverge, a new way of capturing the elusive space between home and memory emerges between us.
