PANO – A contemporary art show, named “Nostalgia - things to be remembered - Hanoi” will take place from April 14th to 16th on Long Bien station, Hanoi with the participation of a number of Vietnamese artists. The program is organized by the Creative Group NONI from Republic of Korea (RoK), in collaboration with the Korean Cultural Center in Vietnam (KCC), the Vietnam Railways, and the Youth theatre.

Previously, the group carried out the project entitled “Things To be Remembered” at Seoul Cultural Station (old Seoul Station) and Seoul Street Art Center (old Water Filter Factory) in 2015.

In 2016, Long Bien station is chosen to be the context of this program. This kind of art is associated with a specific site, also known as art for space, which is not common in Hanoi, Vietnam.

The audience will wear headphones and enjoy the performance space like they are taking on a trip. They will encounter things and people in every familiar space, or pre-prepared images in specific performance spaces through their mobile phones. The journey of discovering shapes and objects, old and familiar space and time will reflect the real values ​​embodied in them.

Accordingly, Park Nark Jong, Director of KCC shared his desire that the art will become  more popular with Vietnamese audience and two sides will have the opportunity to accompany in further contemporary art performances.
