About

I grew up on Vietnamese folklore and wartime literature, and spent years living inside stories of memory, loss and resilience. Somewhere along the way that became a love for culture itself: for the proverbs, songs, objects and rituals that carry a people’s memory long after the hands that made them are gone, and for the quiet lives history tends to flatten into stereotypes. I turned to theatre because it felt like the one place where heritage could be lived, not just preserved.

Today I write, direct and produce between Australia and Vietnam. In Australia I have worked with Performance Space, Africa Film Festival Australia, Sydney Contemporary and Western Sydney University; in Vietnam, with G’LAMS Musical and Ca Dao Hồn Việt, alongside my own project, Những Thuở Xuân Vương. Across all of it, I am just as curious about what makes an experience possible: the teams, schedules and quiet practical details that hold a story together. I am always eager to contribute and to keep learning from the artists, teams and communities I work alongside.

Artist Statement

My work lives in immersive, interactive and site-specific theatre, where the past stops being something an audience watches from a distance and becomes something they can touch, hear and walk through. I want audiences to leave having felt a culture, whether it is their own or entirely new to them.

I don’t believe anyone is simply a villain, so my characters are shaped by their own contradictions rather than by malice, and my stories keep returning to humanity and healing. Heritage only stays alive when someone passes it on, and I see my role as building that bridge: between old stories and younger audiences, between Vietnamese and Australian communities, and between artists and the people, places and plans that make an experience possible. I want to keep creating spaces where people can meet a culture and see familiar places in a different light.
