I first learned of Moi Tran’s work in 2019, through her performance titled The Bolero Effect, which she had staged in an old French house in Hanoi and performed by a local community ensemble of untrained performers. The play incorporated Vietnamese ‘Bolero’ music, a style of music that had been popularised in Vietnam in the 1950s, and used it to examine the complex transnational identity of the Vietnamese diasporas and homeland. As a Vietnamese artist born and raised in Hanoi,...

Vietnam: Does the Domino Fall? For centuries, the world has been dominated by enduring Western influence. A particular country that has been part of the tumultuous upheaval of Western culture is Vietnam. Once an ancient civilization, stemming back to the ways of the Chinese Feudal System, Vietnam first met Western incursion in the form of French colonialism in 1887.

Introduction Fefu and Her Friends by Maria Irene Fornes is a feminist play written and produced in 1977 and has a wide cultural impact due to the many important and well-represented themes. It is unlike Fornes to write a play without any deeper meaning and after reading A Vietnamese Wedding that point was further ingrained in my mind. A Vietnamese Wedding is not necessarily a play as much as it is a performance. It includes the audience in the performance...

Pre-modern Vietnam was a turbulent time marked by constant struggles of subjugation, war, and actualization. With Vietnam being such a rich area full of diverse cultures, largely due to the imperial rule by the Chinese, we see many facets of this small south-east Asian country through careful examination of the facts. The path they went along, which was similar to other developing countries, yet distinct resulted in such an interesting nation bearing striking resemblance to China in many areas. Ultimately,...

With this being said, a highly relevant question is how did a superpower lose a conflict to militarily weaker force in Vietnam, and how did this failure affect its ability to assert political influence through militarised means? The aim...

Were the U.S.’s decision of commitment in Vietnam flawed? From what I have read about the Vietnam war, what I keep coming back to is the United State’s basic misunderstanding about what it was that the Vietnamese (North and South) were actually fighting for. The United States saw themselves as taking a stance against the “march of communism” while the NVA and the NLF were actually having a war in pursuit of their independence and reunification. Ho Chi Minh was...

Several weeks ago, I have got a chance to visit Vietnam Women’s Museum for a better understanding of the roles of Vietnamese women in daily life throughout generations. The term “Men build the house and women make it home” means that men are breadwinners who take charge of earning money and shoulder financial responsibilities in the family, while women are accountable for taking care of children, preparing meals for the family. However, Vietnamese women have to take more responsibilities than...
