Mixed with emotions when watching the musical “House of Silk” at the auditorium of the University of Technology (University of Danang), student Nguyen Thi Thanh Thao (3rd year, Faculty of Architecture, University of Technology) expressed that “House of Silk” is a work with profound humanistic values, subtlety, and innovation in the way it conveys and evokes thoughts about human destiny. Thao felt that the light and dark areas in the work were placed skillfully and gently, contributing to highlighting the theme of the musical night.

For student Le Duy Khoa (4th year, Faculty of Mathematics, University of Education), the musical night clearly portrayed the joy, sadness, resentment, and anger of the characters. There were details that made Khoa burst out laughing because of the charm of his friends, and there were parts that made him cry emotionally at the scene of the character Lua's inner turmoil.

“Nhã cua Lụa” is inspired by the documentary “Chi Phung’s Last Journey”, which won the Special Mention award at the Chopshots Southeast Asian Documentary Film Festival in 2014 and a certificate of merit in the Documentary category at the 2013 Golden Kite Awards. Student Nguyen Viet Quynh Nhung, a member of Sclub, the scriptwriter of the musical night, said that in order for the program to run for 2 hours, the club members spent 3 months perfecting the script, practicing and mobilizing 100 members, including 50 program members, 25 main actors and 25 supporting friends.

During the implementation process, the group encountered many difficulties in terms of funding, props, practice locations, weather, etc., but with the meaning of raising funds to help children in remote areas, most of the members promoted the spirit of solidarity and volunteerism. From the main work, the Club created and added details to create a new script suitable for the purpose and message. The content of the musical night is a story full of love about the miraculous journey of maturity of Lua, a girl abandoned by her mother since childhood but was taken care of and raised with love by the artists in the lottery troupe.

However, when her biological mother suddenly appeared and wanted to take Lua, Lua was forced to make a difficult choice between family and origin, between giving birth and raising her. These conflicts made Lua face many emotions in every look and breath, and finally realized that "home" is not just a place to live, but a place where there must be true love...

"Through the musical night, the club hopes to create a useful playground where members have the opportunity to learn, exchange and pursue and burn out with art together. The club hopes that the program can spread positive values ​​and inspire the spirit of dedication of young people to the community," Nhung happily said.

Sclub President Nguyen Vu Duy Phuong said that the club was founded in 2009 with the initial purpose of promoting the spirit of reading. Since 2015, the club has wanted to create an environment for students to develop soft skills in musical performance with the first musical “Romeo & Juliet”.

Over time, the club's musical activities have attracted about 1,500 members who are students in the city. Above all, the club hopes that musicals are not only a playground but also a meaningful way to organize volunteer programs. Following the success of previous years, the club organized the musical night "Nha cua lua" to raise funds for the "Mam xanh" project in mid-June for children in village 3, Tra Leng commune, Nam Tra My district.

"The club was very happy when the concert sold 800 tickets, which was the motivation for the group to plan to give gifts to children. Last year, the club also organized the charity program "Summer Sun Color" to build solar street lights for people in Apat village (A Vuong commune, Tay Giang district, Quang Nam province). The club hopes that in the future, it will organize many musical nights to bring joy to people in difficult circumstances as well as children," Phuong wished.

Mr. Truong Ngoc Son, Secretary of the Youth Union of the University of Technology, said that the musical night was carefully invested by the club from the content to the music and stage. The higher purpose is to organize to raise funds to carry out charity projects, which is also the goal that the school is aiming for to help students develop comprehensively, not only in terms of studying but also for the community spirit.
