Light Box Theater

Where poetry, dance, music, and painted costumes come alive.
A San Diego mom and U.S. Navy service member is bringing her deeply personal story to the stage.
“Where the Heart Belongs” is a one-woman performance by Vietnamese artist Linh Tran, presented at the San Diego International Fringe Festival. Blending poetry, music, dance, and hand-painted visual art, the show transforms the stage into a living gallery--where every movement, costume, and object is an original artwork.
At its heart, the performance is a love letter to her first child, and a tribute to the child she lost--an emotional journey through motherhood, love, loss, and healing.
Some poems are sung live with melodies created on stage, while dance unfolds through improvisation--making each performance unique.
✨ What to expect: 
• Original poetry, music, and movement 
• Hand-painted costumes and immersive visuals 
• A deeply emotional and intimate experience
