Artists perform in an art show titled White Rose last Friday at Anh Khanh Studio in Ngoc Thuy, Ha Noi's Long Bien District. The show included music and dance performances by Vietnamese and foreign artists including Brett Zweman and Marc Gaetani from the US, David Payne from Australia and Dan Henneberry from the UK. The 1.5-hour music show was performed by DJ Mark Harris, Doan Tri Minh, Vu Nhat Tan and Dom Dom band while the 45-minute dancing part featuring Dao Anh Khanh, Doan Minh Hoan, Truong Uyen Ly and Rudolph Vu Do, expressed the artists' desire to reach ideal beauty in life. The show gathered hundreds of audience members, who were required to wear white.

The second part of the show, titled Black Rose, will be organised at the same venue at 8pm tomorrow night. While the music part will remain almost the same, the dancing part will be designed differently and will feature Khanh, Doan Minh Hoan, Katya Maskaliova from Belarus and Constantin Bayer from Germany. The Black Rose performance praises the mysterious beauty of love and struggles by artists to oversome hardships in life. Director Khanh expresses his feelings through song and fire. Entrance is free. —VNS Photo Bui Minh Duc
