The program aims to honor stage works of drama, cheo, cai luong... that live forever with time, going through many changes but still maintaining a contemporary breath when placed in the context of a moving country, ready to think and be in a mindset to enter a new era, new opportunities.

Mr. Nguyen Kim Khiem added that in 1986, in the atmosphere of the country entering the period of renovation, Vietnamese literature and art witnessed a strong "unleashing". The theatrical works born in that period were not only rich in artistic value but also touched on the core issues of society, carrying a spirit of criticism, arousing the desire for change of an entire era.

Among them, the plays of author Luu Quang Vu are the most typical voice for that spirit, expressing the desire to live, dialogue and change in Vietnamese society during the renovation period.

Hanoi Radio and Television Station hopes that through the program "Television Stage", the vitality of the stage will not only exist on the stage but also spread widely through television, social networks and digital platforms to reach a diverse audience today.

The play "Me and Us" was born in 1984, in the context of the country starting to build a spirit of innovation. The work is a brave voice with a deep critical spirit, condemning the stagnant conservatism of the subsidy mechanism and raising the big question of the choice between "Safety - Compliance" or "Commitment - Change".

After more than 40 years, that message is still relevant and relevant to the context of a society that is gradually integrating and developing sustainably.

"Me and Us" was performed continuously in Ho Chi Minh City, attracting a large audience with 3-4 performances/day.

The 2025 version of "Me and Us" staged by Hanoi Drama Theater not only faithfully recreates the brave and dedicated spirit of Luu Quang Vu, but also brings a fresh perspective, imbued with the spirit of the 4.0 era. With innovative stage language, modern lighting and sound, and a fast-paced rhythm, the play seems to have been "transformed" to reflect the reality of today's society.

People's Artist Trung Hieu, Director of Hanoi Drama Theater, expressed that the play is not only a collision between each individual and a stagnant and conservative system, but also an internal dialogue between the individual "I" and responsibility to the community.

First performed in 1985, with a duration of over 3 hours, the play was performed continuously in Ho Chi Minh City, attracting a large audience with 3-4 performances/day. Audiences had to queue up to buy a ticket.

The play was a resounding success with more than 1,000 performances across the country, becoming a rare phenomenon on the Vietnamese stage.

The program "Television Stage" with the play "Me and Us" will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on June 1 at the Workers' Theater, recorded and broadcast live on channel H2 and platforms of Hanoi Radio.
