introjective exhibition (nhập xuất nhập xuất)

Connect

"introjective exhibition ((nhập xuất nhập xuất)" is a solo performance exploring the existential condition of being haunted by others, trying to communicate the emotional-physical rollercoaster of not having complete sovereignty over one's own body. "introjective exhibition" researches the emptiness of the body as a vehicle for thinking, feeling, translating, communicating, theorizing, and dancing. This bodily sensuous vessel will be mobilized to make contact with others' haunted selves and give them provisional forms to be put on public display.


Thinking through the Kleinian psychoanalytic concept of "projective identification" and Vietnamese shamanistic possession rituals, both of which presuppose the instability of the individual psychic container, introjective exhibition wallows in the risk of losing oneself in communing with otherness. If our ghosts demand to be seen and heard despite our conscious wishes to exorcise them, how can dance and performance create an intimate transitive space that can seduce this necessary loosening of the individual will?

With over 100 offerings – from rebellious circus, delicious dance, fearless theatre and activist art to workshops, parties, and more – Cannonball pushes the boundaries of live performance at four different venues this Fringe. Come as you are and stay past bedtime. Blaze your own trail at cannonballfestival.org.

About the Artist

Anh Vo is a Vietnamese-American choreographer and writer based in Brooklyn and Hanoi. They create dances and texts about pornography and queer relations, about being and form, about identity and abstraction, about history and its colonial reality. They receive their degrees in Performance Studies from Brown University (BA) and New York University (MA). Vo is currently a 2023-2025 Jerome Hill Artist Fellow.


Included on the New York Times' 2022 list of Best Dance Performances, Vo's choreographies flesh out the sensuous sexual body as a vessel for apparitional forces. Their latest body of work tries to articulate the monotonous oppressiveness that is the weather of postwar contemporary Vietnam.


Foregrounding the unruliness of the body, Vo's work unravels intolerable feelings, wounds, memories, and pleasures. They are occupied with the task of making present the unrepresentable. How can difficult histories be collectively felt with direct emotional charge, subtle provocation, sacrilegious playfulness, and earnest responsibility? The intensity of war draws Vo into the survival space between life and death, where life is contingent and death is imminent. This intensity is heightened by their experience surviving chronic illness. Vo's work weaves together the erotic thrill of violence and the tenderness of care to push forth the burning desire to be alive.
