Description
In the hyper-realistic setting of a Vietnamese restaurant, trapped in a time-space between Vietnam in the 50s and France in the 90s, Caroline Guiela Nguyen unfolds an intimate and poignant fresco.
It's about life and memories. Trajectories intertwine: stories of love, exile, family and friendship, all crossed by History. This now cult "saga show" roots the director in the living territory of great contemporary writing, where the stage becomes the site of a profound dialogue with our times.
Through tears and smiles, Saigon explores what remains when one has left one's homeland: ties, memories and the desire to continue celebrating life. The fruit of a long period of immersion and supported by a diverse cast of French and Vietnamese actors, the show weaves a tale charged with a humanity that touches the heart.
With Caroline Arrouas, Dan Artus, Adeline Guillot, Thi Truc Ly Huynh, Hoàng Son Lê, Anne-Marie Ly-Cuong, Phú Hau Nguyen, Maurin Ollès, Yen Linh Tham, Anh Tran Nghia, Hiep Tran Nghia
