Do you believe in love after life?

Sự tích trái thơm / Ang Alamat ng Pinya (“the legend of the pineapple”) is on the move, like it has been for centuries. Originally cultivated as Hoyriri by the Tupinambá people in present-day Brazil and Paraguay, the pineapple’s uprootings through Portuguese colonization of South America have left traces in Southeast Asian mythology, motherly sermons and memories of a million eyes that shall remember what they see.

The hybrid performance “Do you believe in love after life?” will take place in Sài Gòn (Việt Nam) and Köln (Germany) at the same time, departing from slippery confines of time, space and body into the possibilities of their ruptures.

Anika Baluran Schäfer, Thủy-Tiên Nguyễn, Quang Nguyễn-Xuân and Việt Đức Phạm, four queer performance artists with Southeast Asian heritage in Germany, telling stories through performance, poetry, moving images, karaoke and video art.
