Classic cheo plays on stage

The cultural tour aims to understand traditional art within the framework of the cultural media project Toi Xe Dich (I Move), with the cooperation of the Vietnam Cheo Theatre.

The shows will perform classic cheo plays, such as Quan Am Thi Kinh at Thap communal house yard on September 5, Luu Binh – Duong Le at Kim Lien communal house yard on September 12, and Kim Nham at Xuan Dinh communal house yard on September 19.

Besides enjoying performances by actors from the Vietnam Cheo Theatre, the audience will also gain basic knowledge about typical cheo characters and its cultural space, as illustrated by young artist Jeet Zdung. The audience is a chance to enact their favourite characters during each night show of Tieng Trong Cheo.

According to the Organization Board, a special feature of the tour is to preserve the stage, instruments and costume of the "old" cheo that give the audience a true experience of the art form.

The program is not for profit and is being supported by community funds from the participants.

Cheo is a traditional form of art that used to be performed on small stages in communal house yards. Performing cheo plays on its original stage, which is an open space and not inside theatres, will help bridge the distance between the actors and the audience.

Launched by Nguyen Thi Thu Ha in the Toi Xe Dich Project, the program aimed to help preserve ancient cheo as well as connect the cultural emotions among different Vietnamese generations. Toi Xe Dich is a social media project about culture and tourism for the youth, established in June 2012. The project is expected to encourage the youth to travel more, live more meaningfully and understand traditional values better.
