Dusk dance for the Saigon river

February 2020, a Vietnamese month ...
I’m coming during the Têt, the Chinese New Year. In a pending moment ...
I immerse myself in my all-round research:
my name Huynh of Chinese origin, the first name of the Vietnamese father Thanh Van, in French "Blue Cloud", his places of birth, life, departure, architecture, the foot (of dancer?), acupuncture, the step, the country, the clouds ...
As always, research, by serendipity, gives me unexpected meetings…
In Cholon, with a Cantonese acupuncturist, with the urn of a Chinese great-grandfather, whose existence I discover and whose face is well hidden in a small pagoda.
In My Tho, with the father's college, the family home has become a café.
In Rach Gia, the city of his birth, no more address but magnificent clouds and an inaugural sunrise.

This trip is a destinerrance (destiny-wandering) in the sense of Jacques Derrida: fate but also destination and wandering merge.
Myself, by sinking into the Mekong Delta, I merge, I dissolve, disseminate in water, in earth, in tree.
Links and maps are still to be produced.
Tuesday, February 25, 2020, in the garden of MoT +++ overlooking the banks of the Saigon river, at 5:53 pm shortly before dusk, I will try some of them.
The public is expected from 5.33 p.m.

Written in Rach-Gia, near Cambodia, on February 19, 2020.
