Subject: [Vsg] Company Ea Sola/Drought & Rain
Hi all, I made a big trip to town, Hillsborough, last night where a
friend gave me a clipping from the local weekly, an ad for "Drought &
Rain, Vol. 2" by Company Ea Sola.
It's a dance performance on Nov 16 and 17 at UNC's beautiful newly
renovated Memorial Hall, "with twelve dancers from the National Ballet
of Vietnam and a traditonal Vietnamese music ensemble. Drought and
Rain
Vol. 2 is a reflection the Vietnam War as seen through the eyes of the
next generation. The Chapel Hill performance is the US premiere."
The photo shows two shirtless young men looking intense and Asian, in a
buzz-cut way, and woman with a top in the background throwing her big
black hair around.
I wouldn't miss it. We don't call the theater "Memorial Hall" for
nothing, there are names up and down the walls by the proscenium and
plaques throughout the foyer commemorating the heroes of the struggle
against the Union and then against Black Reconstruction.
But I have to miss this opportunity for dramatic irony. I will be
traveling for my own memory project in NY and Louisville. I don't know
a thing about Ea Sola or Drought & Rain and would love any report.

Ea Sola Thuy is a French-Vietnamese choreographer, who for the past 15
years
has concentrated on dance productions focused on memory. Her shows have
appeared in Vietnam and toured abroad. This recent one utilizes light
and
sound, as well as movement. My last meeting with Ea Sola was in Sapa a
few
years back. She's a fascinating personality, and would no doubt
appreciate
Dan's dramatic irony.

I have also known Ea Sola for years. She divides her
time between Paris and Hanoi. Do you know if her piece
is touring anywhere else in the US? She tours Europe
regularly but I have not seen a US production in a
while.
