CaDance Festival: Project Rebirth

"The more grounded you are, the higher you can be, like a tree.” - Tú Hoàng

Project Rebirth is an entrancing dance performance about hitting rock bottom and moving through the struggle to be reborn. It's both fierce and serene, universal and deeply personal. You'll be among the first to see this new production by Korzo artist Tú Hoàng at the Cadance Festival.

Rooted in Tú’s experiences with periods of depression, the performance follows him and his four fellow dancers search for a way to break a cycle, transform it, and begin again. Driven by entrancing beats from a live DJ, they move through exhaustion, flee to escape, surrender to release, and eventually find stillness.

Tú draws parallels between the energy of clubbing and spiritual and ritual practices across cultures. In Project Rebirth we witness the beat becoming a drum, the four dancers becoming a tribe, and movement turning into a ritual for healing.

Together, they create a shared space to escape reality and reconnect with themselves, each other, and perhaps something even greater.
