“in vietnamese the word ‘oi’ is so simple of a word that it only needs two letters ‘o’ and ‘i’ to evoke the deepest feeling and tenderness … the closest way to describe ‘oi’ is the feeling of being held,” sophomore Kat le said during rehearsals for ‘notre dame by night’.

The university’s vietnamese student association (vsa) is putting on their annual cultural showcase ‘notre dame by night’ at 7 p.m. on Friday in washington hall.

This year’s theme is ‘Tune in 4 love’ and the show features traditional vietnamese performances like the hat dance and the fan dance along with contemporary v-pop songs and dances. Food catered from local asian restaurants like ‘creasian’ will be provided after the show and is included in the ticket price. senior Thanh nguyen who is one of the directors of the show said this show’s performances are grouped under four themes – patriotism, kinship, romance and companionship.

“This year is essentially about love and the universality of love,” she said. “we wanted to demonstrate that through four themes. i know there’s definitely more types of love, but we wanted to show those types of love through vietnamese cultural songs and performances.” see vsa PaGE 4
