The art program "A Country Full of Joy" was staged on a large scale in both content and form, bearing the historical imprint, patriotism and deep pride of the Vietnamese people.

Throughout the program are touching images of soldiers on the front lines, the troops that quickly entered Saigon in April 1975, and the soldiers who sacrificed silently, whose identities have not yet been determined.

The resounding victories of the 1975 Spring General Offensive and Uprising - the result of a journey full of hardship and sacrifice - closed the heroic epic with a brilliant chapter, written with the blood and faith of the entire nation.

It was a victory of intelligence, strong faith, the Party's wise leadership, the spirit of national solidarity and the indomitable fighting spirit of our army and people.

The 90-minute program with 19 unique art performances is divided into three chapters: "Aspiration for unification", "Aspiration for rise" and "Aspiration for power".

Each chapter is a slice of history vividly expressed through music , dance, images and performances applying modern stage technology, recreating the challenging but also glorious journey of the Vietnamese people on the journey to gain independence, freedom and build the country.
