The Emperor's Flag Water Puppet tells the story of King Dinh Tien Hoang

(CLO) The play "The Emperor of the Reed Flag" (scriptwriter Nguyen Dang Chuong, director People's Artist Hoang Tuan) tells the story of the first emperor of Dai Co Viet - Dinh Tien Hoang.

On the evening of November 5, at the Thang Long Imperial Citadel Water Puppet Theater, Thang Long Puppet Theater performed the play "The Reed Flag Emperor".

The play "The Emperor of the Reed Flag" (scriptwriter Nguyen Dang Chuong, director People's Artist Hoang Tuan) tells the story of the first emperor of Dai Co Viet - Dinh Tien Hoang.

In the play, since he was a buffalo herder, Dinh Bo Linh was unusually intelligent and quick-witted. During buffalo herding sessions, Dinh Bo Linh often thought of mock battle games, using the buffalo's back as a throne and the reeds as battle flags.

From the script by Dr. Nguyen Dang Chuong, Meritorious Artist Dang Tien skillfully and delicately adapted the puppet script, especially the period when King Dinh Tien Hoang was still a buffalo herder, Dinh Bo Linh.

Artists Xuan Long and Dat Phu spent a lot of time researching history and scripts to create puppet characters that are both familiar and new, but still have funny and adorable features.

The play also features the participation of artists: Le Van, Dang Nhan, Binh Minh (as Dinh Bo Linh), Thu Giang, Phuong Linh (as Dam Thi), Van Phuc... and the cast of troupe 2 of Thang Long Puppetry Theater.

Meritorious Artist Thanh Hien, Director of the Theater, who is the artistic director of the play, said that the crew has invested very carefully in all stages of the play “The Emperor of the Reed Flag”. The Theater’s Board of Directors has carefully selected the script, director, actors, and stages such as sound, lighting, art, puppetry… all of which have been carried out meticulously, responsibly and wholeheartedly.

The puppet show "The Emperor of the Reed Flag" will open on the evening of November 5 at the Thang Long Imperial Citadel Water Puppet Theatre. This is also the theater's competition night within the framework of the 2024 Capital Theater Festival.
