“The Swans” – Spreading love, nurturing children's souls from the stage lights

(PLVN) - On the morning of June 9, Hai Phong Traditional Theater held a press conference to launch the special puppet show "Flock of Swans". This event is part of a series of activities responding to the Month of Action for Children and Summer 2025, imbued with humanistic and artistic values.

With the desire to bring a “spiritual gift” to children during the summer, Hai Phong Traditional Theater has painstakingly staged the play “The Swans” from European fairy tale material, combining traditional puppetry language and modern stage technology.

The story of the brave little girl Eliza overcoming danger to rescue her brothers who were turned into swans is told emotionally through each delicate, emotional puppet movement.

Not only an entertainment product, “The Swans” also conveys a profound message about courage, family affection, sacrifice and the power of love – as affirmed by the Theater Director, Master Nguyen Thi Thu Thuy: “In each little soul, there is always a swan hidden within, carrying the desire to fly up and overcome the darkness”.

In particular, the Theater calls on the community, donors and businesses to join hands to sponsor free performances for disadvantaged children at SOS Children's Village, Hoa Phuong Children's School and social protection facilities. This is a practical action, spreading humanitarian values, contributing to creating a summer full of love for the less fortunate.
