Hörbar: Arrival Cities: Hanoi

Arrival Cities: Hanoi is an innovative fusion of music theatre and documentary film. This experimental work, created through a collaboration between director Jörgen Dahlqvist, composer Kent Olofsson, and the ensemble The Six Tones (Ngô Trà My, Nguyen Thanh Thủy, and Stefan Östersjö), explores the stories of migrants in Hà Nội. The piece blends composed music with improvisation, while the documentary features interviews with rural-urban migrants, focusing on the lives of street vendors—primarily women—who balance work in the city with family life in the countryside. Central to the narrative is the story of Lưu Ngọc Nam, a Tuồng actor and costume maker, whose journey from the countryside to Hà Nội reflects the city’s rich cultural tapestry. Arrival Cities: Hanoi is a poetic reflection on migration, memory, and the vibrant connections between tradition and modernity.
