HCM CITY— Students of the Vi Dau Drama Troupe are preparing to stage new shows to celebrate the troupe’s fifth anniversary.
The artists will stage Ba Me Dam Va Bay Con (Mother and Children), a tragicomedy adapted from a popular German literary work written in the 1950s.
The 60-minute play is directed by Thai Kim Tung, head of the troupe, who works as a lecturer at the HCM City University of Theatre and Cinematography.
A series of three-act plays on love, family and social issues, such as Tinh Yeu Muon Mau (Colours of Love) and Yeu Khong De (Love Is Not A Game), will also be featured.
"Our troupe was first composed of only three members, but it now has 30 young actors from the city’s drama clubs and art schools,” said Tung, one of the city’s young theatre talents.
"This troupe gives young actors the opportunity to develop their talent, knowledge and techniques used in emotional expression while still at school," he said.
Tung said that his staff had staged 15 serious plays in the hope that the troupe would become a place for young people to enjoy the art in a different way.
”We bring our audiences closer to the art,” he said.
The troupe’s shows will be staged every Saturday and Sunday, from March 10 to April 15, at 8pm at 9 Thai Van Lung St in District 1. Tickets are available at the box office. — VNS
