chill-wave – electronic pop – ambient techno – live!

► “songs of humid,
sun-kissed, heart-on-its-cut-off-sleeve electro-pop” (Pitchfork)
Dense female
harmonies, tape saturated synths, guitars and drum machines… this is the
magical combination of BLUE HAWAII – a duo based outta
Raphaelle Standell-Preston
+ Alexander Cowan have been making chill-waves around the world with their
releases Blooming Summer (2010) and ‘Untogether’ (Arbutus) in 2013.
Part of a DIY
Canadian scene which includes the electronic-jellyfish-core outfits Grimes,
Majical Cloudz, Doldrums, BRAIDS and more, these groups have all emerged from
a very collaborative, community-driven environment which combines the punk
ethos with a pop sound: resulting in a blend of the two.

Theater
Performance “The Caucasian Chalk Circle”
17, 18 and 19 Sep
2014, 8 pm
Youth Theatre
11 Ngo Thi Nham,
“The Caucasian
Chalk Circle” is one of the most famous plays of the German dramatist and
poet Bertolt Brecht (1898 – 1956). The Goethe Institute, in cooperation with
the Youth Theatre Hanoi, brings this piece to the stage for the first time in
After four weeks of
intensively rehearsing the premiere will take place on September 17th. It’s a
special and exciting cooperation for the actors and the whole ensemble of the
Youth Theatre as well as for the German director that brings great new
insights to everybody.
It is wartime.
Enemy soldiers are approaching; the house of the wealthy governor is in a
panic as everyone frantically packs their bags for their escape. The
governor’s wife presses her little son into the arms of the maid Grusche and
flees to safety, taking her money and expensive clothes. Grusche escapes with
the little one and raises him, through many perils and dangers, as if he were
her own son. Her beloved Simon thinks she was unfaithful and leaves her. The
years go by. One day the governor’s wife appears. She wants the child back,
since the boy will soon inherit a large amount of money. But for Grusche he
has long since become her own child, and she does not want to just give him
away. The matter comes before the judge Azdak. How will he decide? And is there
hope for the love of Grusche and Simon?
Director Dominik
Guenther: “The piece fits into our current time”
Question: How will
you make this play from a distant past interesting for today’s Vietnamese
public, especially the young audience?
Dominik Guenther:
Actually, the piece is not really all that distant. The question how love and
humanity relate to each other in difficult times, when everyone thinks of
nothing but oneself is always and in every culture relevant. This is why I
have made no changes in the language or the setting in the fictitious state
of Grusinien. However, I have transported other elements into the present.
The costumes, for example, are modern. I have also recast the figure of the
narrator: This character is a kind of a director who will lead the happenings
with the help of electronic music and different sound effects. The secret
behind this character I don’t want to reveal yet.
