“Sand Castle” or “Human Mask” - the script by author Dr. Nguyen Dang Chuong, who was famous on the Vietnamese drama stage more than ten years ago, was staged by the Hai Phong Drama Troupe on September 11.
According to the Head of the Delegation Hai Phong Drama Tran Trung Hieu, with the theme of family - "Family is where life begins and love never ends", "Sand Castle" wants to bring to the audience a feeling and also a truth: Family is always a warm home that brings happy values, a solid spiritual support in life, a peaceful place after hardships, a place that is always open and tolerant after mistakes and failures...
Meritorious Artist Kieu Minh Hieu, who took on the role of director of the play, shared that “Sand Castle” or “Human Mask” embodies the dark truth of members in many families today, with individualism, selfishness and the need for enjoyment being placed above all else.
The impact of bad habits has made the "human mask" thicker, more beautifully made up, more dignified to cover up the corruption of the self...
The play is about Mr. Bo - a high-ranking official who disregards and destroys all the sacred values of his family to satisfy his personal, selfish, and morally degraded lifestyle.
And his bad habits are always covered by a mask: "Regarding morality", "Regarding family traditions"...
The horrifying truth was only revealed when Thien - the eldest grandson of the "Four Generations Under One Roof" family brought his lover home to meet his family...
The play will also give the audience the feeling of having seen "human masks" somewhere in today's society.
The play will also show stories, details, events... as they have happened in our lives.
The play also hopes to serve as a warning bell about the unpredictable consequences of the appearance of too many "human masks" in today's social life.
At the same time, the play also reminds us that if we do not know how to control our dark desires and excessive desires, we will easily get into awkward situations like the one in the play by the Hai Phong Drama Troupe that will be presented to the public next October.
Director Kieu Minh Hieu also said that the art design of the play also evokes the colors of a simple, old, pure time, but also vaguely shows the audience that something is about to collapse, fall apart at any moment if people do not realize it to nurture, care for, cherish, and respect it.
..." Keep the family in a separate corner
To remember, to hope, to pray silently
Please don't leave sadness on your face, mother.
And the smile never leaves your lips..."
Director Kieu Minh Hieu
At the same time, with a mobile, neat, easy-to-move decorative design, after being performed on the October 2024 digital television stage program, the play will be easy to organize a tour to serve the people and workers in localities, industrial parks, etc.
At the play, the audience will meet many familiar faces in the creative team such as: Musician, People's Artist Trong Dai; painter, People's Artist Doan Bang; performance conductor Dang Khoa; assistant director Quang Thien; choreographer Meritorious Artist Nguyet Hang; along with artists and actors from the Vietnam Drama Theater and Hai Phong Drama Troupe...
