“Anti-gone” is an experimental performance video focusing on the mental, spiritual state of Antigone, where unseen assumptions about a place, an indeterminate space, and a link between life and death are constantly ascertained. Here, she narrates, expressing her inner thoughts amidst a symbolic scene - a woman facing the most important yet lonely decisions, precarious yet ever grand and passionate.
Antigone is a famous tragedy written by the ancient Greek playwright Sophocles in 2500 B.C. ‘Anti-gone’ is not a retelling or a production of the play, and it does not aim to be a feminist or political declaration. ‘Anti-gone’ is a private view of a tragedy. It happens seemingly in a very strange setting (Greece of 2500 B.C.), yet still lies close to the Vietnamese lifeworld, as a comparison to the narratives in traditional theaters and to the women around us will show.
‘Anti-gone’ is part of ‘Antigone Saison’ project from Goethe Institute, with support from L’Institut Français Hà Nội and ‘Future of Tradition’ project.

Hang has a special interest in Vietnamese traditional music and art, in which she has found cultural harmony. She is in search for the modern in the Vietnamese traditional antiquity music, in order to incorporate it into her musical practices – improvising the traditional Vietnamese musical materials and instruments and incorporating those elements to the new electronic music.
