Ascent to the Bamboo Forest — A Dance Travelogue serves as a rare window into a hidden geography of Asia: the mystical highlands of Northern Vietnam. Following a 2025 performance-lecture, Arts Fission dancers Aisha Lozano, Marveen Lozano, Andine Elaina, and Ignatius Sim have since distilled their initial movement vocabulary into a triptych under the guidance of Angela Liong. The work is a deeply personal contemplation of the reverence for the land, the sincerity of communal rituals, and the Traditional Ecological Knowledge gleaned from their time among the mountain villagers.

In a departure from traditional scoring, composer Chua Jon-Lin facilitates a kinetic soundscape where the dancers are also musicians. Utilizing bamboo culms, leaves, and organic materials, the dancers generate a live, rhythmic score that breathes with the movement.

Step into this transformed clearing and witness a quiet beauty—a way of life and an ancestral wisdom standing on the brink of imminent loss.
