On the eve of Tao Quan 2025, the audience recalls the Tao seasons that are associated with the memories of the 30th night of Tet every year.
In which, the role of Bac Dau was successfully performed by People's Artist Cong Ly for nearly a decade.
Bac Dau is a character with unique colors in Tao Quan, with a "glossy" appearance, but an erratic personality, a bit effeminate.
This character is considered unique because he has both the rough and aggressive features of a man and the capricious, shrewish, and graceful features of a woman.
When People's Artist Cong Ly had health problems and could not return to the stage, the void left by the artist was huge.
Among the young faces, Meritorious Artist Thai Son is the name mentioned every year, with the ability to transform into "Miss Dau" of Tao Quan.
Thai Son is considered to have a diverse acting style, similar to the role of Bac Dau. The actor is graceful and capricious in the role of Tu in the movie "Under the shade of the happy tree".
He also has a brutal, hideous personality like the villain Dieu in "Black Medicine" and the flexibility in acting when awake or unconscious like the "drunk" A Re in "War Without Borders".
Thai Son is a familiar face to television audiences despite his background as a cheo actor. Thai Son's natural and charming acting style has helped him become the new "comedian" of Vietnamese television dramas.
A special detail that contributed to the success of the role of Bac Dau by People's Artist Cong Ly was having to imitate a female voice throughout the entire session, without any mistakes or errors allowed.
The audience saw Thai Son in "Shadow of Happiness" do that with an impressive female voice.
In a conversation with Lao Dong reporter, when asked about the audience's support for Thai Son to play the role of Bac Dau, the actor expressed: "I can only thank the audience for loving and believing in me, so I made such a proposal. "Gap nhau cuoi nam - Tao Quan" is a large, prestigious, and magnificent stage, gathering many talented artists. As an artist, everyone wants to stand on big stages, next to their colleagues.
Honestly, what the audience mentioned, I haven't dared to think about. I think a talented artist like Cong Ly, with a special role like Bac Dau, is hard to replace, if anything it's just a continuation."
Not only working in the Cheo stage and acting in TV dramas, Meritorious Artist Thai Son also participated in many comedy skits with Cuong Ca, Trung Ruoi... broadcast on his personal channel, attracting millions of views on social networking platforms.
Meritorious Artist Thai Son was born in 1983, from Hung Yen, and was a student of Cheo class, Faculty of Traditional Theatre, Hanoi Academy of Theatre and Cinema.
In his career as a Cheo actor, Thai Son has achieved many outstanding achievements. Besides, the actor also soon revealed his talent for comedy roles, having acted well with many artists such as: Xuan Hinh, Thanh Thanh Hien, Hong Van, Trung Ruoi...
