The pre-opening will take place 8 p.m. September 25 at L’Espace, 24 Trang Tien Street, according to a statement from the organizers. In the pre-opening, a French-Vietnamese group will present Underground, a dance piece based on the history of the Cu Chi Tunnels, in which choreographers John Bateman and Nguyen Anh Duc offer a tribute to human resilience.
