‘The Shadows of Sound’ by Nguyen Thanh Thuy

This evening you can experience a very special live performance with musician, artist and performer Nguyen Thanh Thuy in the critically acclaimed exhibition Reincarnations of Shadows.

Nguyen Thanh Thuy has created the music for Thao Nguyen Phan’s latest film work and will on this evening create a sound intervention in direct dialogue with the exhibition’s works by playing the đàn tranh, a traditional Vietnamese musical instrument, which the artist reinterprets in a new way with a modern voice.

The admission is free to Kunsthal Charlottenborg 17.00-20.00 and to the event, no reservation is required.
