Popis: | Cô Định and cô Xuân, two women veterans in Ho Chi Minh City, recount their memories of torture during the Vietnamese-American war. Their remembering requires a performance-centered exploration of the Vietnamese women's tradition of “pain-taking,” as well as their haunting return to the Con Dao prisons as veteran-tourists. |
