Art night of friendship and pride

VHO - In the ancient space of the Polski Theater - the artistic pride of the capital Warsaw for more than a century, the art program "Quintessence of Vietnamese culture" took place on the evening of June 23 (local time), like a "harmony" imbued with the spirit of friendship, marking the 75th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Poland.

Bridge from Vietnamese heart to Polish heart

Elaborately staged by artists from the Vietnam Music, Dance and Singing Theatre, each performance in the program is a rich slice of Vietnamese culture. The sounds of the monochord, T'rung, bamboo flute, and tam thap luc... resonate in the auditorium, touching the hearts of the listeners.

From the gentle dance of the Ancient Capital , the soulful solo of the monochord "Homeland of the Three Regions ", to the modern combination of Xam singing art in "Four Seasons of Flowers ", a Vietnam that is both traditional and innovative appears vividly and attractively.

The Vietnamese-Polish cultural exchange is subtly expressed through bilingual musical performances. The Niech żyje bal concerto is played through traditional Vietnamese instruments.

The folk songs Szła dzieweczka and Czerwone Jagody performed by Vietnamese artists with sincere emotions, bring the rustic charm of Polish melodies into the breath of Vietnamese art.

The dance performance "Moonlit Night in the Communal House Yard" conveys optimism, purity and love of life.

Closing the program, the combination performance Mot vong Viet Nam - Niech żyje bal became a convincing symbol for the message: Music is a language without borders.

The atmosphere at the Polski Theatre exploded with emotion. The Polish audience, our compatriots and members of the diplomatic corps burst into prolonged applause. Many familiar melodies were sung along with great emotion.

After each performance, the entire audience stood up and applauded. Music, in its own way, awakened the deepest values ​​of human connection between two peoples who have shared both joy and hardship in their historical journey.

The art of building lasting friendships

Speaking at the event, Deputy Minister Ho An Phong emphasized: "The program is not only a special artistic gift from Vietnam to Polish friends, but also a symbol of strong friendship, bridging the gap between the two cultures."

He affirmed that over the past 75 years, the relationship between the two countries has always developed steadily on the foundation of trust and sharing. “The Vietnamese people will never forget the valuable assistance of Poland during the years of fighting for independence and in the process of national construction,” said the Deputy Minister.

Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Ho An Phong affirmed that over the past 75 years, the relationship between the two countries has always developed steadily on the foundation of trust and sharing.

“In the field of culture and art, Poland has provided practical support to Vietnam, especially in training. Many generations of Vietnamese artists, musicians, painters and architects have studied at prestigious art training institutions in Poland. The professional values ​​and artistic spirit that they have absorbed from Poland's scholarly, disciplined and creative culture have made an important contribution to the formation and development of modern art in Vietnam today,” Deputy Minister Ho An Phong emphasized.

Architect Kazimierz Kwiatkowski (Kazik) - who has been associated with the heritages of Hoi An, My Son, and Hue, is also mentioned as a touching symbol of friendship. From heritage to art, from people to tourism, Vietnam and Poland have together written new humane chapters in bilateral relations.

In his emotional speech, Vietnamese Ambassador to Poland Ha Hoang Hai shared: “75 years ago, when the first green shoots of Vietnam - Poland friendship began to sprout, perhaps few people could have imagined that, despite the changes in history, our two countries would still be as closely connected, full of trust and affection as they are today.”

According to Ambassador Ha Hoang Hai, the friendship between the two countries is a journey woven from deep memories, from high-level visits, sincere dialogues and thousands of Vietnamese students who have studied in Poland. They are living bridges between the two peoples.

Many schools, hospitals, factories and seaports built with Polish support in Vietnam are still present today, a living symbol of the unshakable friendship between our two countries,” the Ambassador affirmed.

Living bridges extend friendship

One of the most emotional moments of the event was the presence of a large Vietnamese community living and studying in Poland. Nearly 30,000 Vietnamese expatriates in Poland not only integrate deeply into the local society, but also preserve and spread Vietnamese culture, becoming silent “ambassadors” to continue the increasingly strong friendship between the two countries.

In the context of Vietnam officially exempting unilateral visas for Polish citizens from early 2025, along with the strong recovery of the tourism and cultural exchange industry, this event is considered a starting point for deeper cooperation in the future, especially in the fields of creativity, digital transformation, technology and culture.

On the night of June 23, the Polski Theater - a place that has preserved more than a century of Polish stage glory - truly became a space to connect souls. "The Quintessence of Vietnamese Culture" is not only an art program, but also an invitation to join the same beat so that culture can bridge the gap, so that the past can forge the present and so that the future can continue to light up the journey of Vietnam - Poland friendship for a world of peace and sustainable development.

The exhibition "Colors of Vietnamese culture" is held within the framework of the Vietnam Culture - Tourism Week in Poland in 2025.
