Diane Severin Nguyen WAR SONGS MOCA, Los Angeles, US 27 February — 1 March 2026

Friday, 27 February 2026, 7:30pm — 9:00pm Saturday, 28 February 2026, 7:30pm — 9:00pm Sunday, 1 March 2026, 6:00pm — 7:30pm Diane Severin Nguyen revisits the protest anthems of the Vietnam War in WAR SONGS, considering how these ballads persist not only as symbols of political conviction, but as unstable artifacts that obscure historical records and shape collective memories of conflict. With music arranged by Laszlo Horvath and performed by an eleven-person cast, WAR SONGS takes on the spectacle of a televised concert. Diane Severin Nguyen, WAR SONGS (2025/2026), is a Performa Commission, co-commissioned by The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
