Hanoi (VNA) - Two art troupes from the Re﷽public of Korea (RoK) will hold shows at Vietnam Youth Theatre, treating local audiences to impressive puppetry performances from February 19-23.

Art Stage San and Performance Group Tuida are professional performing arts companies in RoK. They will hold a show each on February 19, 20, 22 and 23, with Art Stage San staging Dallae's Story and Performance Group Tuida staging The Tale of Haruk. Dallae's Story, a nonverbal production, is about the life of an ordinary family that is interrupted by war. The piece does not directly talk about the war itself, but portrays the efforts of a family to overcome hardship during wartime. Dallae, portrayed as a puppet, collects blooming flowers in summer time and goes fishing with her father, catches dragonflies and picks apples in autumn, and makes a snowman in winter.
However, their happy life becomes a tragedy after the war begins. Dallae is left alone after her father is conscripted. Then the story is told through the eyes of the innocent Dallae in a fairy tale-like fantasy. The story is expressed through hand manipulations of the puppets, from the birth of the daughter and their happy, sweet family life to wartime in a play within a play, with sets of the four seasons representing life and the passage of time. Premiering in 2003, the show has evolved from its early format to the current version. Various artists such as mime artists, photographers and video artists have collaborated to discuss the nature of war and its cruelty and human rights. The title of the show also changed from When Spring Comes and War to the current Dallae's Story. After numerous changes in format and story, the show has developed its own identity, focusing on the story of Dallae.
Dallae's Story will be performed on February 19 and 20 at 7.30pm. Performance Group Tuida, meanwhile, uses traditional Korean paper puppets, unique native masks and percussion instruments made of eco-friendly materials such as Korean paper, straw and hemp and even trash to tell The Tale of Haruk in a contemporary style. This lyrical and beautiful story of Haruk, who ate everything he saw, breaks down barriers of region, race, religion and rebirth to become an everyman's tale with which anyone can sympathise. Debuting in 2002, The Tale of Haruk won four awards, including Best Production, at the Seoul Children's Theatre Awards and has been invited to perform at festivals in Japan, China, Singapore and Hungary, as well as Australia, Turkey and Austria. At the 2009 International Theatre King festival in Russia, it won both the Best Production and Young Critics prizes for the first time in the festival's history.
The two RoK puppetry companies will perform in Hanoi for the first time to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Korean Cultural Centre in Vietnam. Free tickets can be picked up at Vietnam Youth Theatre, 11 Ngo Thi Nham street, and Korean Cultural Centre, 49 Nguyen Du street.-VNA

Indian writer captivated by Vietnam’s Cham cult♌ure

Taking a journey to the Cham Museum — the modest building in Phan Rang –Thap Cham, Indian writer Ankita Mahabir said that the museum might not boast size but it brims with pride for the local community, featuring carefully preserved sandstone sculptures, portraits, and rare artifacts.

For years, the Vietnamese community in many countries rarely had the chance to experience Vietnam’s traditional arts and culture actitivies organized by the Vietnam government, except the annual event “Vietnam Day Abroad” that has been organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs since 2010. But the year 2024 marked a turning point.

In the context of international integration and globalisation, culture and art education plays a vital role in promoting the all-round development of Vietnam's young generation.
