New vitality for Street art

Việt Văn |

Two months ago (June 24, 2025), the Prime Minister's decision to merge 3 typical artistic units - Tuong Viet Theater, Cheo Viet Viet Theater and Cau Lai Viet Nam Theater into the Vietnam National Traditional Theater is not only a change in structure, but also a strong affirmation of the vision of development and heritage conservation. This consolidation, although posing inevitable challenges, opens a wide door for breakthrough opportunities, reshaping the future of traditional theater.

In this meaningful transformation, it is worth noting that there is a passionate project of young people with the main character being young actress Bui Yen Linh - Head of the organizing committee of the project "Ha Hoi" with an extensive research journey on traditional performing arts, and creating experiential and interactive artistic spaces, aiming to breathe new life, extending the breath of traditional art to future generations.

People's Artist Anh Duong is playing the role of Ho Quy Ly in the play "Ho Quy Ly". At the age of 55, 33 years in the profession, with the ability to play a legitimate role, he said: The most difficult thing is to express the mood and struggle in the heart of Ho Quy Ly in his country's reform career... In the historical role, the male artist's most desire is to portray the character at that historical moment.

The captain - captain is in the role of every character, from the king, the official, the queen, the lady to the province, the monk, the old farmer, the young lady, the child... Of course, depending on the type of character, there is a unique type of captain. The king's crown is decorated with 9 phoenixes. The needle cap belongs to the generals who took the battle...

"Ha Hoi" - a deep concept in traditional theater, meaning "back", "the next part" of a play or a story, is a symbol of hope for the ability to re birth and the endless continuation of heritage.

In particular, "Ha Hoi" does not stop at professional stages but also attracts deep attention to indigenous cultural values and craftsman communities in localities, the roots of which have been formed and nurtured traditional cultural values since the beginning.

In the first season of the "Ha Hoi 2025" project, young people focused on Tuong art, the oldest and most scientific stage in Vietnam. The merger, despite its challenges, is also an opportunity for Tuong and other traditional art forms to rise up and spread more strongly, in a new form, just like the meaning of "Ha Hoi": The ending but at the same time opening a new beginning, a future full of hope for the traditional Vietnamese stage.

"Ha Hoi 2025" is a series of diverse activities, from Talkshow to Podcast, with a special highlight being the release of the documentary "Ha Hoi - Mong Ky Man Tuong". These activities are built with a dual vision: both fully conveying the quintessence of Tuong and bringing a contemporary perspective, reflecting Tuong in today's social context.

This photo series aims to express the beauty of Tuong art and is done in many different spaces and times, most recently at the end of July 2025.
