The bamboo circus "My Village" was born in 2005 imbued with the culture of the Northern Delta. The music of the play focuses on typical musical instruments of the Northern region such as lip harp, trumpet, erra, oar drum, etc. combined with the sounds of close villages such as the crowing of chickens, the sound of lullabies, the sound of night redemption, the sound of chanting and knocking, the sound of labor cheers...
The poetic picture of the Northern countryside appears with each swinging movement, bending... of the group of artists and rustic bamboo trees. The image of children playing with bamboo chopsticks while their parents work in the field, farmers smoking cigarettes during lunch break under the shade of green trees or lovers dating on a bamboo bridge under the sparkling starry sky....
"My village" is likened to a "ticket" to return to rural life in the Northern countryside, to release the soul along the line of memories of a once beloved one.
Schedule: Unannounced

Suong Soon is a contemporary dance combined with semi-classical ballet revolving around the stories of rice plants, rice grains and the daily life of farmers in the Southern Delta. The dance was released in 2011.
Suong Soon touched the emotions of the audience when recreating the scene of the soulful and extremely vivid village through a flexible and smooth body language on stage. The performance props are made from familiar items of farmers such as: rice drying cushions, chopsticks for tilling rice, baskets, pots, forks, sieves, pairs of bearings... or straw trees, rice trees, bamboo trees, lemongrass trees... One of the most impressive scenes of the play is the white waterfall made of rice pouring onto the stage floor from the ceiling of the theater, reminding of the "pearl of heaven", the result of the sweat and tears of the farmer who attached his life to the field.
Sound and music are also the highlight of this performance when the lyrics, verses, and singing are cleverly integrated with the sound of the holy gourd, the sound of flowing water, the ringing of bells, and the sound of imitation frogs chirping. The audience can feel the joyful and bustling atmosphere of the season, listen to the familiar sounds of the countryside, smell the scent of lemongrass, the smell of incense burning in the pagoda... as if returning to a real countryside.

Palao in Cham means "to let go, to float, to receive new things". When a big boat is about to go to sea, when a young person is born, when sending off a living being, the Cham people say "palao". In that spirit, the play Palao, launched in 2018, distilled the best of a dying culture, to create a "living museum" of Cham culture on stage with contemporary indigenous dance and music.
In Palao, white cloth and terracotta jars serve as storytellers. Things associated with the life of the Cham people when going on stage become a bridge to help viewers better understand the values of Cham cultural heritage.
In the middle of the red and white minimalist stage, the sounds of ancient ceremonial instruments such as Ghinang, Paranung, Saranai, Kanhi, and the snail trumpet of the Cham people are boldly broken with electronic music, making listeners immersed in a powerful and attractive musical space.
