“What to do with the springsheen?” unfolds a kaleidoscopic journey, ushering in the new year with lingering post-Tet jubilation. Each artist explores the theme of spring - new beginnings through their own unique perspectives, weaving together the familiar and the novel, the bewildering and the exhilarating, the joyous and the nostalgic.

Special thanks to our friends Lý Trang and Trần Uy Đức for contributing ideas during the brainstorming stage of this concert.
