Choreographer Nguyen Tan Loc brings his work to the International Contemporary Dance Festival

Nguyen Tan Loc's luggage this time includes a special work bearing the mark of Vietnamese culture, Kliselamef (Female Silk), which is being performed for the first time. Kliselamef (Female Silk) is inspired by the folk song "My body is like a piece of peach silk".

Choreographer Nguyen Tan Loc shared: “The work Female Silk comes from respect, love and emotions mixed with a bit of sadness and admiration for Vietnamese women of the past. I want to dedicate all the respect of this work to my mother, my sister, my friends... those who have always been a strong motivation for our lives."

Nguyen Tan Loc said he exploited the soft, flowing material of Vietnamese silk and, together with designer Kieu Viet Lien, researched and created to achieve harmony in dance costumes, combining silk material with body language and movements, honoring the silk ao dai costume in the festival in Italy this year.

In addition to Kliselamef (Female Silk) , Arabesque Vietnam also performed the work Melting choreographed by Lim SunYoung.

The work Kliselamef (Female Silk) participated in the International Contemporary Dance Festival in Italy 2023.
