On the evening of November 18, 2025, Ho Guom Theater became the cultural center of the capital when the art program "Sacred Sea and Islands of Vietnam" organized by the Vietnam Journalists Association brought an emotional night of performance, arousing national pride and love for the sea and islands in each audience. The event is part of a series of activities of the Association to promote propaganda about sea and island sovereignty, while spreading beautiful stories about soldiers who are clinging to the sea and protecting the island day and night.
The program thanked the participation of the Petroleum Fertilizer and Chemical Corporation - JSC (PVFCCo); Binh Son Petrochemical Liquefaction Joint Stock Company (BSR); Vietnam National Petroleum Group - Petrolimex (PLX); Pacific Petroleum Transport Joint Stock Company.
Right from the opening, the program created attraction when combining music, dance and modern stage effects to recreate the vast space of islands. The image of boats sailing in the early morning mist, the sound of waves and the music alluring up opened up a strong flow of emotions. The audience not only get to watch but also "experience" the sea air through the lighting system and LED screen simulating the sea and sky of Vietnam.
One of the special highlights is the appearance of performances imbued with folk culture. The actress wore a Ao Ba Ba shirt, using fish nets and traditional props, creating very real and realistic frames. The actor's soft movements illustrate in harmony with the emotional voice of the performing artist, making the stage feel like it adds a breath to the fishermen's life. Viewers seem to feel the salty, durable life of their homeland's sea.
Not only exploiting the simple color field, the program also recreates the resilient image at the forefront of the Navy, Coast Guard and Fisheries Control of Vietnam. Through the chapters 1: The Oath to Guard the Sea, Chapter 2: The Hearts of the Sea, Chapter 3: Pride of the Blue Sea - Aspiration to reach out, the audience seems to have entered the journey of young soldiers day and night to guard the sea and sky, overcome the strong waves to protect the sacred sovereignty of the Fatherland. Each performance is a story told through music, through genuine emotions, not emptiness.
In addition to the artistic elements, the program also carries profound media value. A representative of the Vietnam Journalists Association shared: The press plays a very important role in spreading official information, raising public awareness of sea and island sovereignty. We want to make art so that every person - from adults to adolescents - can feel the close bond between the mainland and the sea and islands.
The audience attending the program highly appreciated the creativity and humane message that the art night brought. The program line is seamless, not ostentatious but rich in suggestion, enough to touch the hearts of viewers. Many people shared that they felt more proud of Vietnam's sea and islands, of the soldiers who still quietly preserved every bit of the sea and sky.
Concluding with a joyful sound, The Sacred Sea and Islands of Vietnam is not only an art program but also a voice of gratitude, a reminder of each citizens responsibility towards the sovereignty of the country. The show became a beautiful mark in the cultural life of the capital, a testament to the power of art in inspiring and arousing patriotism.
