Kim is a stage piece between dance, literature and film. The work is currently in progress and is scheduled for completion in autumn 2023. Kim is based on the novel ‘Wherever You Are’ by the award-winning German-Vietnamese journalist and author Khuê Pham, who will be on stage herself.
The novel follows the effects of the Vietnam War and the resulting dispersion of the family to several continents. On this basis, the book explores the lostness between cultures, the speechlessness about the past and the relativity of concepts such as good and evil.
Together with Khuê Phạm and five dancers and performers, all of whom have intercultural experience themselves, we follow these traces with Kim and link them with our own – and the audience’s – traces.
