A conversation with Hằng Hằng, Founder of Phu Lang Sa Collabtive, by Lưu Bích Ngọc

Carré Arrondi
Organised by Common Stories, MC93, Laboratoire Aubervilliers

Carré Arrondi draws from Hằng's experience working in a nail salon and from those of others she has met. Yet it immediately carries us elsewhere—far away, into a timeless, floating world. Perhaps we exist in multiple places at once, drifting between dream, nightmare, and reality, between past, present, and future. Actions and words repeat, looping in a hypnotic rhythm, gradually bending our sense of time.

Gentleness does not preclude violence.

Carré Arrondi - Feet, hands, water

Directed performance by Hằng Hằng

During the residency at BUDA, Hằng Hằng focuses on dramaturgy and direction, exploring repetition in collaboration with performer Maya de Vulpillières.

Printemps Précoce

Directed by Hằng Hằng
Assisted by Arthur Canac, Hùng Nguyễn

Hằng Hằng continues her work of reexamining micro-history and family archives by sharing her experiences with children at the Macdonald Public Comprehensive School. Through a multidisciplinary approach, she invites the children to participate in sensory and performative workshops where the hand can reflect and the nose can perceive space, while encouraging them to express their thoughts, memories, and to evoke their family history.

These stories reveal our identity while shedding light on and challenging our perception of ourselves and others. The plurality of narratives and perspectives helps us better understand political, social, and cultural issues.
