Precious materials for the catwalk

Not only stopping at literary value, the achievements of the creative camp also opened up a "gold mine" of ideas for contemporary theater.

The People's Army Publishing House in collaboration with the Center for Supporting Literary and Artistic Creation has just closed a literary creation camp on the topic of the Armed Forces and revolutionary war in 2025.

Scene from the play "Comrade" - author Le Thu Hanh, directed by People's Artist Tran Ngoc Giau, Quoc Thinh, invested by Ho Chi Minh City Theater Association, won the gold prize at the first Ho Chi Minh City Theater Festival in 2024

Novels such as "Tieu phi" by Tran Nguyen My, "Nguoi rung" by Nguyen Duy Liem, "Gio tu dinh Nhiu Co San" by Truong Thi Thuong Huyen or "Cau rainbow hai mau" by Quynh Van... have painted vivid pictures of soldiers from the fierce battlefield to the peaceful border. In the genre of short stories and memoirs, "Cuc quy hoa loi", "Nguoi di nguoc nang" or "Hoi meu binh nhien" bring humanistic slices, where memories of war blend with the breath of life today.

Not only does it have literary value, the achievements of the creative camp also open up a "gold mine" of ideas for contemporary theater. Many authors and theater directors in Ho Chi Minh City share their excitement about this valuable source of material.

Screenwriter Tran Van Hung said: "We always need new materials about soldiers and war, but from the perspective of people, their status and the times. The novels and memoirs in this writing camp can be transformed into profound scripts, close to the audience."
