In the context of environmental pollution being a hot issue in Hanoi, the art program combining music and dance - “Flowers and Trash” (Rejoice and Refuse) is expected to contribute to raising public awareness, encouraging specific actions in reducing pollution, protecting the living environment for a sustainable future.
“Flowers and Trash” consists of 4 chapters. Chapter 1 - “Love for the homeland” brings the audience back to the pure values of nature; Chapter 2 - “Scattering and Picking Up” reflects the complex relationship between humans and the environment, between disposal and collection; Chapter 3 - “Flowers and Trash” recreates the contrast between the beauty of nature and the serious pollution situation; Chapter 4 - “Colorful Environment” is an idea of a diverse and beautiful world when humans join hands to protect it.
The concert brings together 120 artists from Feelings Art House, including singers, choreographers, sound and lighting experts, and stage crew. The group of artists will perform famous songs such as “The First Spring” (Van Cao), “Love Nostalgia” (Pham Duy), “Gop la mua xuan” (Trinh Cong Son), “Sac mau” (Tran Tien), “Yeu dau tan theo”, “Dem thay ta la thac do” (Trinh Cong Son), “Summertime” (George and Ira Gershwin), “Earth Song” (Michael Jackson), “Think of me” (Andrew Lloyd Webber)... in many languages (Vietnamese, English, French, Italian), while also presenting contemporary dances, adding artistic depth to each performance.

Not only through emotional artworks, the program's message is also expressed through the environmentally friendly stage design. The entire stage and props including towers, columns, cages, chairs, lighting accessories... are made from recycled materials such as fabric, plastic and scrap paper, demonstrating a strong commitment to raising awareness and calling for concrete actions on urban environmental issues.
“The program will recreate the story of the environment in a humane, profound and meaningful way. With the delicate combination of music, poetry and dance, we hope to bring a message that is close and touches the hearts of viewers” - Mr. Nguyen Anh Hung, Conductor of Feelings Art House expressed.
