Pick of the Week: Compagnie Ea Sola
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Among the army of contemporary dance groups, Compagnie Ea Sola can truthfully claim to be unique. Its 13 elderly Vietnamese women perform traditional dances incorporating chanting, poetry and percussion. Their choreographer, Ea Sola, was forced to flee Vietnam in the 1970s, when her father was a resistance fighter. Returning 10 years later, she was inspired by the hat cheo dance of the Red River Delta. The result is Secheresse et Pluie, which receives its UK premiere tonight.
