You are invited to the exhibition SLAMthơ – Poetic Labyrinth, which will open 6pm Thursday at L’Espace.

With scenography by Amélie Codugnella-Cerise, a soundtrack by Arnaud Soulier and video by Pierre Xaysena, SLAMthơ gives a unique experience of discovering original poems written by Vietnamese Francophone students during the first poetry slam ever in Việt Nam. The centrepiece of the exhibition, a labyrinth, takes visitors to explore its mazes, similar to a poet wandering in their words, searching for meaning and sensations.

Don’t forget to bring your earphones and smartphone with a QR code scanning application to be able to enjoy the exhibition completely.

The free entrance exhibition will remain open until April 16. — VNS
