RiverRun Festival: Vân-Ánh Võ: Mekong: SOUL

In Mekong: SOUL, Emmy Award®–winning musician Vân-Ánh Võ, composer Jonathan Berger, and the Apollo Chamber Players tell three powerful and multi-sensory stories about life on the Mekong River of Southeast Asia. With music, audiences will follow a journey along the river and hear the sounds of Vietnamese, Khmer, Thai, Lao, and Burmese communities. With dance, they will see the pains of departure from the homeland and the struggles faced by those torn from the river. With spoken word and moving images, all can appreciate the bonds of the mother who sustains life whether on the river or in diaspora.
