Overwhelmed with the artistic stage of the Halloween festival of the Academy of Journalism and Communication

Halloween 2025: Ouroboros took place on October 31 and left an unforgettable impression on the audience with its artistic performances.

Halloween Night is the pride of students of the Faculty of International Relations, Academy of Journalism and Communication. Throughout 20 years of organization, the event has maintained the spirit of spreading positive life values ​​through the artistic lens of young people.

This year, the program celebrates its 21st birthday with the name Halloween 2025: Ouroboros. The Ouroboros symbol (Snake eating its own tail) originally symbolizes the endless cycle of rebirth. From the original meaning, the Organizing Committee compared the image of "Snake swallowing its own tail" to the process of human fall when jealousy dominates. From here, the program hopes that the audience will accept and correct their mistakes.

The concert took place with the participation of lecturers and staff of the Faculty of International Relations, sponsors, press agencies and many students in the capital. Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Oanh - Head of the Faculty of International Relations expressed his pride in the annual event of the faculty: "The 21st Halloween proves the efforts to preserve and develop the festival of teachers and students of the Faculty of International Relations over the years. The program not only shows the passion of the students for the annual event of the faculty, but also helps them practice soft skills. These are extremely valuable things."

The sharing of Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Oanh is a great motivation to help students make more efforts to preserve and develop the "brand" event of the faculty.

The flexible interweaving of drama and music is the highlight that makes the Halloween event attractive. The performances are carefully invested in from sound to image, helping the audience's emotions to be guided naturally, while at the same time more clearly depicting the message that the play wants to convey.

That effort continues to be demonstrated through this year’s program with the play “Blood Claw” and interwoven musical performances. “Blood Claw” tells the story of jealousy. Here, the conflict between those who consider art as a passion and those who use art as a “springboard” for fame is pushed to a climax. From there, the work opens up reflections on the boundary between the desire for success and jealousy.

Hong Diep and Tran Dai criticized each other's professional views, leading to many tragedies later.

The sudden transition of emotional states from the songs "Sunshine in Life" and "Lie" plays a role in recreating Hong Diep's downfall at the peak of fame.

The plot revolves around the journey of Hong Diep, a female singer who is gradually drawn into a spiral of jealousy over the success of her colleague Tran Dai. From a talented artist who loves art, she loses herself in her desire for fame and glory. It seems like all tragedies have ended when Diep takes action against those who pushed her into the path of sin, but Diep returns to the starting point, where greed and jealousy continue to control her.

The “red nails” represent jealousy and the desire for fame. The nails on Hong Diep’s hands appear at the end of the play, showing that she has not yet escaped the cycle of jealousy.

In addition, the participation of guest artists Phung Khanh Linh, LEZII and circus artist Minh Duc contributed to the success of the festival. Yen Thanh (19 years old, Hanoi ) shared: “This is the second consecutive year I have participated in the Halloween festival. The program not only brought joy but also left an impression with its humanistic messages and unique artistic perspectives. This is an experience that made me think a lot.”

Circus artist Minh Duc and "two special co-performers" excited the audience.

The audience was satisfied with the closing performance of the night by two guest artists Phung Khanh Linh and LEZII.

The 31st of October concluded the memorable journey of Halloween 2025: Ouroboros with many emotions. The success of this year's event promises to bring impressive experiences to viewers in the upcoming seasons.
