"Bong Canh Co" is a work by the late musician Bac Son. Meanwhile, the play "Dut dong to sag" has just been released to the audience recently and received good feedback from the audience.
People's Artist Hong Van confided: "With these two plays and the cast that we always expected when presenting them in the past, it is a testament to our right path in literary drama. The return of Cam Ly in "Bong Canh Co" is calm with folk music, while "Dut Dong To Truong" has artist Lam Vy Da with profound melodies of Cai Luong.
This is not a comparison, but each work will have different highlights as both have appeal, highlights and a large audience. Think and weigh which play will attend this year's festival and must conquer new goals."
With "Bong Canh Co", this is a famous musical by the late artist Bac Son and a long play on traditional themes, both are suitable for the theme of the festival "Khat Vong Phuong Nam". While "Dut thong to tat" also has charming comedy and profound messages.
"Both Cam Ly and Lam Vy Da devoted themselves to their roles with their meticulousness and seriousness in their profession along with their co-stars, giving me hope that we will gain some recognition at this festival.
Both plays are very close to the audience, with stories that the audience has experienced over time in life. I don't have high or low scores for either, the competitiveness of the two plays is equal" - People's Artist Hong Van hesitated to bring the play to the competition.
The success of each character in the play cannot be overlooked by the two talented young directors Le Nguyen Tuan Anh and Hoang Hai.
Will the story imbued with family philosophy in a beloved river island of "Bong canh ga" be chosen for the contest or will the story promoting the sacredness of art in general and cai luong in particular... of "Dut day to thung" be more popular with the audience?
Hong Van Drama Theater will take this time to measure which play the audience likes more and from there decide to bring "Bong Canh Stork" or "Dut Dong To Sag" to the Ho Chi Minh City Theater Festival in 2024.
