Masked hip-hop show comes to town

A hip-hop show titled “Faces” by chorographers Raphael Hillebrand and Sébastien Ramirez from Germany and France will take place in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City on 25 and 27 February.

Top hip-hoppers such as Hoang Ky Anh, Nguyen Chinh Dung, Nguyen Minh Kien will perform together with foreign dancers.

All artists will wear masks during the performance to send a message: “Are we all wearing masks to cover up our face in today’s society?”

Introduced for the first time in 2008, in an event organized by Vietnam Goethe Institute and French center L’Espace, the hip hop performance has since gained more fans as it reflects a dynamic, open and modern Vietnam, a country with rich culture and good preservation of traditional values.

The show will take place in Hanoi’s Youth Theater on February 25 and Ho Chi Minh Ctiy’s Ben Thanh Theater on February 27.

Free tickets can be obtained at Goethe Institute, No 56-57 Nguyen Thai Hoc, Hanoi or No 18, Street 1, Do Thanh, Ward 4, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City.

After performing in Vietnam, the crew will tour France and Germany.
