A drama entitled Cai Lao Hoan Dong (Rejuvenation) will be
performed by Vietnamese artists at the International Performing Arts
Festival in Pohang City, the Republic of Korea (RoK).
A 13-member
troupe from Vietnam Drama Theatre led by director Nguyen The Vinh is in
the RoK attending the festival, which ends on August 5.
The
artists will perform the hilariously funny Cai Lao Hoan Dong, a short
folk drama adapted by Nhat Linh. It tells of a poor farmer’s victory
over greedy and dishonest rivals thanks to superior cleverness.
Stage director Tuan Hai combines folklore and humour to make the story more interesting.
The
play introduces the international audience to Vietnam’s traditional
costumes, as well as folk dances and singing from the northern region.
The
drama was voted as the most favourite play at the China-ASEAN Theatre
Festival in the Chinese city of Nanning last September.-VNA
