The play "Duyen Nghiep" is on tour in Can Tho

The play "Karma" by author Hoang Hiep, director Hong Ngoc (Mai Vang Award 2024) will be performed in Can Tho City on December 10 (Hoa An commune) and December 11 (Vi Thuy commune). The idea of ​​Ma Thanh Xuan and actress My Hanh in bringing drama closer to the audience in the countryside has made a strong impression. Director Hong Ngoc commented: "This project also has the participation of young actors who have just graduated from the University of Theater and Cinema in Ho Chi Minh City, which are memorable and happy performances on the artistic path when joining hands to care for community life".

Earlier, on March 22nd and 23rd, the "Happy Home" program left a lasting impression as it marked the first time a theatrical performance from Ho Chi Minh City came to Soc Trang , opening up an artistic journey filled with human kindness.

Beyond its elaborately staged performances, the program has also become a meaningful charitable activity aimed at helping those in need in the peaceful Mekong Delta region.

The stage lights up with humanity and family memories

The play "Happy Home" explores the story of parental love, the responsibility of children towards their parents, things that seem familiar but always touch the hearts of the audience. The play features artists from Ho Chi Minh City: Meritorious Artist Bao Quoc, Meritorious Artist Bao Tri, Gia Bao, Minh Du, Phuong Nguyen, ... - familiar faces of the Southern drama stage. The two nights of performance in Soc Trang City (old) and Nga Nam town at that time attracted more than 2,500 audiences.

In the breezy outdoor space or the cozy hall, laughter, tears and enthusiastic applause harmonized into a chorus of empathy. Each line, each expression, each dramatic twist was fully conveyed by the artists, making the entire audience sometimes silent with emotion. Those were brilliant performances, creating beautiful impressions of the journey to bring drama back to the people of the West after many years of absence.

Art paves the way for charity journey

Alongside art, the program also carries a special mission: to call on the community to join hands in caring for the poor and those in particularly difficult circumstances, implementing the Government 's directive on eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses in Soc Trang province.

As a result, the program contributed to: building 7 charitable houses for poor families; awarding 20 scholarships to disadvantaged students at Mai Thanh The High School; and providing 20 million VND in support to children at the School for Children with Disabilities in Soc Trang (formerly), now Can Tho City.

Those numbers sparkle with hope, like extended "performances" in real life, where art touches reality through practical action. On the country roads, the team listened, understood, and shared the difficulties of the farmers.

Mr. Ma Thanh Xuan said that the working group directly surveyed the households receiving charity houses. They went there and listened to the hard-working stories of the people, from the makeshift thatched roof of a family of 5 to the difficult situation of a 6th grader who had to drop out of school. In the cramped space, the eyes of the poor mother when hearing the news of the new house or the bright smiles of the children when receiving scholarships... made the artists choke with emotion.

The play "Happy House" is loved by the audience.

"They understand that this trip is not just about giving gifts, but about giving hope so that rural students can continue to go to school, and so that these new homes become a foundation for the future of many generations," said Mr. Ma Thanh Xuan emotionally when mentioning the development direction of this meaningful project.

When art is the bridge connecting the community

Two performances in Soc Trang and Nga Nam have concluded, and so far, two shows of the play "Duyen Nghiep" (Destiny and Career) promise to leave a lasting impression on the people and the theater troupe alike, highlighting the profound meanings within the hearts of artists engaged in social work.

Director Hong Ngoc shared that the warmth and sincerity of the rural audience has brought creative youth to the crew. This journey is not simply about performing. It is a trip to listen, understand and share. "I hope the program will continue to be able to send love to more situations" - Director Hong Ngoc said.

Meritorious Artist Bao Quoc commented: "This wonderful project awakens family love, nurtures the spirit of solidarity, and opens doors of hope for those still struggling in life. The theater troupe is eagerly preparing for new developments, promising even more dazzling and emotional moments."
