  3. Sadec 1965: A Love Story


An award-winning solo show described as Cheryl Strayed’s ‘Wild’ but on a motorcycle on Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh trail. In 2013, Flora embarked on a solo 2,000-mile motorcycle journey across Vietnam, seeking to understand her father's incessant silence about his homeland. Desperate to connect with her heritage and to make peace with her father, for six weeks she traveled from North Vietnam to his southern hometown of Sadec. What she discovered was the story she’s been longing to tell. But something was missing. Years later, Flora discovers love letters between him and Hien, the high school sweetheart he left behind during the War. These letters have revealed the mysteries of her father, and decades later have become the lost history Flora needs to finally tell her story.

“In Sadec 1965, I'm not just telling my story or my father's story,” shares Le. “I'm exploring how war, displacement, and unspoken trauma echo through generations, and how love can sometimes be the only bridge across that silence.

Flora was also nominated for the 2023 Young-Howze “Storyteller of the Year” Award.

Awarded “Best Production Overall” and “Best Solo Performance” at the 2022 Kelowna Fringe Festival, Sadec 1965, A Love Story has been performed at Fringe festivals in Victoria, Nanaimo, Calgary, Hamilton, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Kelowna, San Diego, and New York City. Additional performances have been staged in Arlington, VA; Capon Bridge, WV; Montreal’s 6th Vietnamese Cultural Weeks; and the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in Lame Deer, Montana.

Flora Le is a storyteller based in Washington, DC. She is a lawyer by day, though she has always had the soul of an artist. Flora discovered storytelling in 2017 while attending a Snap Judgment show in Washington, DC and she felt at home instantly. The combination of writing and public speaking was exactly the medium she wanted for self-expression. In March 2019, Flora was selected to perform at Story District's Tuesday Show in Washington DC, a popular storytelling show attended by 400 people. The performance of her #metoo story, an emotional and vulnerable experience, received a standing ovation, a rare occurrence at such shows. Sadec 1965 is Flora’s first full-length solo storytelling show. One theme is common to Flora’s work: the transformation of pain into beauty. Flora uses her own painful life experiences to create beautiful stories of resilience, forgiveness, personal transcendence, and love. Flora has toured over 15 cities in the US and Canada with her show.  was awarded “Best Production Overall” and “Best Solo Performance” at the 2022 Kelowna Fringe Festival. Flora was also nominated for the Young-Howze “Storyteller of the Year” Award in 2023.
