Re-performance of the dance play "Sunset" in Ho Chi Minh City

"Sunset" is staged in the form of a multi-dimensional visual story, connecting ballet and modern dance. The work talks about the exploits of war and the deep "sediment" in the souls of people returning from war. Choreographer Nguyen Phuc Hung has staged this work with 3 parts: "Hope", "Love" and "Sunset Eyes", focusing on depicting memories of a fierce war time.

Although the theme of war is "Sunset", the play does not exploit the sadness and loss but depicts the life, humanity, and love on the front lines. The dance drama recreates the heroic history of the nation; arouses pride and love for the homeland and country in the hearts of the audience.

"Sunset" features many talented young artists: Meritorious Artist Tran Hoang Yen, Dang Minh Hien, Sung A Lung and Do Hoang Khang Ninh. This is an opportunity for young artists to explore and express new, unique and distinct ideas.

Sung A Lung is one of the prominent faces of the HBSO Ballet. This male dancer has participated in plays such as "Cinderella", "The Little Doll", the role of an Arabian slave in "The Nutcracker", the role of Trong Thuy in "The Magic Crossbow" (a contemporary dance collaboration between Vietnam and Korea), and most recently, the very successful role of Madame Tu in the ballet "Kieu".

"Sunset" also features artists Pham Trang and Duyen Nguyet through the song "Autumn Melody" by musician Phu Quang, lyrics by Hong Thanh Quang and the song "Love Song" by musician Hoang Viet. The music is performed by musician Vu Viet Anh - who was very successful with the ballet "Kieu".
