‘(in)finitude’ arises from reflections on a contemporary world driven by immediacy and the perceived optimisation of technology, where artificial intelligence (AI) and instantaneous algorithmic systems increasingly shape how we perceive our surroundings—eroding our capacity for attention and narrowing contemplative lives.
Taking place on the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, the programme treats duration not merely as a linear structure but as an artistic medium. Trang Trinh describes the piece as a personal inquiry into the concept of ‘performance,’ where art becomes a ritual of attention.
Alongside the piano, she will perform, rest, reflect, engage in dialogue, and share presence with the audience, guest artists, and Generative AI, within a space conceived as a journey rather than a traditional concert.
This journey does not rely on a fixed script; instead, it responds to the actual physical and psychological states of the artist at any given moment. Audiences are welcome to arrive, leave, and return, becoming witnesses to the evolving states of the body, music, and time.
As an event marking 20 years of Trang Trinh’s artistic practice, ‘(in)finitude’ will also feature the participation of artists and colleagues who have accompanied and inspired her artistic journey, including Nguyen Thuy Duong, Pham Dieu Huong, Pham Mai Khanh, and Marcus Manh Cuong Vu.
The programme is free of charge, welcoming all audiences at 49 Tran Hung Dao Street, Cua Nam Ward, Ha Noi. Registration can be submitted via https://forms.gle/WxBD6ZmkZBSgxSJv8.
Trang Trinh is a pianist and arts educator known for her community arts projects. In 2015, she was recognised by Forbes Viet Nam in the “30 Under 30” list. A graduate of the Royal Academy of Music in London, she has an extensive record of international prizes.
