New creative journey after "Mo Road"
Chum Show is expected to continue the mark of The Mooi - a play that once created a buzz thanks to its combination of the quintessence of traditional art with modern performance techniques.
Inspired by the image of a box - a familiar item in life and beliefs, symbolizing a circular life cycle and rebirth - "Chum Show" opens a unique artistic journey, evoking many layers of meaning in life, love and connection.
In particular, in Cham language and some indigenous languages of the Central Highlands, chum also means kiss - a gentle symbol of healing.
It is that harmony that makes plays not only a stage work, but also a message of humanity and the harmony between the past - present, between people and nature.
Unique cultural harmony in Khanh Hoa
Chum Show exploits the identity of three cultural flows: the mystery of Cham Pa, the generous spirit of the Central Highlands and the gracefulness of the Kinh people.
The play brought the South Central region audience for the first time new artistic experiences such as the air swing, modern circus combined with local music performed by local artisans.
The special thing about the crew is the open creative model, not following the traditional style.
The authors Anh Minh Nguyen, Pham Thanh Duong, Truong Thu Huong, Dinh Quoc Bien, Ja Yang and General Director Ngo Thanh Phuong created a working space that is both disciplined and inspiring for creativity.
Local artists and artisans not only perform but also co-create and breathe new life into the culture so that art is not only preserved but also continued and revived.
Sharing about the project, general director Ngo Thanh Phuong emphasized: "Chum Show" was born without haste, without ceremony, without commitment. This is not a place to create "perfect artists", but a space for people to live truly, create truly.
A kiss in Chum Show is not only a symbol of love, but becomes an artistic act - simple, gentle but full of power.
