Laugh and cry with Hoai Linh and Cat Phuong in the new version of "Hiu hiu gio bac"

(NLDO) - Another work inspired by Nguyen Ngoc Tu's story on New Stage promises to attract a large audience.

Artists participating in the play "North Wind"

On the evening of October 30, at Khang Media Studio (5B Pham Ngu Lao, Hanh Thong Ward, Ho Chi Minh City), New Stage held a review of the play "Hiu hiu gio bac", a work adapted from the short story of the same name by writer Nguyen Ngoc Tu, directed by Minh Nhat. Among the cast, the notable name is probably Hoai Linh.

Hoai Linh and "the journey into the human world"

The event marked the emotional beginning of the journey to revive the literary drama genre rich in humanity and imbued with the breath of the South. The play had the participation of actors: Hoai Linh, Cat Phuong, Cong Danh, Hong Trang, Hoang Phi, Thanh Truc, Huynh Tien Khoa... The play used the song "Hiu hiu gio bac" by People's Artist and Musician Ho Van Thanh.

Nguyen Ngoc Tu's works are famous, making many generations of readers sob because of his light-as-a-breath yet deep-penetrating narrative style about the fate and people of the South.

On the New Stage, director Minh Nhat chose a simple way of telling the story, keeping the original spirit intact, so that the story of small people, precarious in the midst of life like the gentle north wind, is brought to life through light, music and acting.

"Nguyen Ngoc Tu's literature has a soul ready to step onto the stage. I am just the one who awakens those souls with the light, with the empathy of another storyteller - the stage" - director Minh Nhat shared.

Meritorious Artist Hoai Linh believes that "Hiu hiu gio bac" is "a journey into the human world", where the artist seeks empathy between people, in the salty and tragic moments of life in the West.

Hoai Linh – Cat Phuong: the acting couple of tears and smiles

The center of the play is the character Het performed by artist Cong Danh. Hoai Linh and Cat Phuong play supporting roles, but both created harmonious performances, bringing laughter and tears to Het's unfortunate fate in love.

After a long absence, Hoai Linh's return as a hard-working grandfather, silently enduring mental trauma, promises to bring strong emotions to the audience. With his restrained acting, understanding every quiet moment of the character, he made the audience fall silent and then burst into tears many times.

Meanwhile, Cat Phuong, with her delicate acting, completely transformed into a woman who suffered a lot of pain and only wanted her daughter to live happily, even though that love caused Het - the man who loved her daughter so much - to leave his country, leaving his homeland with an unquenchable compassion.

The artist couple, who have been together for many years in the profession, have gone through many art events and are two artists who have won many Mai Vang awards, met on stage, creating a rare blend of reality and art, making every dialogue and every look become a beautiful wound.

A new breath for literary drama

The New Stage has taken a bold approach in bringing contemporary literature to the stage. "Hiu hiu gio bac" is the opening step, promising a series of next works exploiting Vietnamese literary materials with depth and humanity.

Director Minh Nhat skillfully interweaves visual elements and folk music, creating a stage rhythm that is intimate yet evocative. The audience can catch the smell of field smoke, the sound of wind, the sound of boats, the distant sound of vọng cổ, all blending into a picture of the countryside that is both realistic and poetic.

With "Hiu hiu gio bac", Hoai Linh - Cat Phuong - Minh Nhat and the New Stage crew have proven: when literature and theater meet with sincerity, art is not only for entertainment, but can also heal the soul.

"The stage is a place to reflect on lives to find sympathy from the audience. Nguyen Ngoc Tu's literature has a soul ready to step onto the stage" - director Minh Nhat shared.
