A performance of historical “cai luong” (reformed Vietnamese theater), which costs almost US$140,000, will be staged for free in Hanoi this week.
The “Mai Hac De” play, which revolves around a Vietnamese revolutionary leader and king, will hit the stage at Au Co Art Center, at 8 Huynh Thuc Khang Street, Ba Dinh District at 8:00 pm from Tuesday to Thursday.
The play includes around 140 artists such as musicians, dancers, and martial art practitioners, according to veteran artist Trieu Trung Kien, the play’s director.
