How can a 200-year-old poem resonate with the Vietnamese diaspora today?
Tracing Kiều starts from that question. Based in Berlin, the project brings together artists, writers, and scholars from the Vietnamese diaspora and from Vietnam around Nguyễn Du’s Truyện Kiều (The Tale of Kiều), the best-known work of Vietnamese literature. In development: The Kiều Complex, a proposed exhibibition with a public program, and The Kiều Reader, an anthology. Running now in Berlin: Kiều Lesen – Reading Kiều, a reading series with music, performance, and film, open to anyone curious about the poem.
