(CLO) "Dao leading the way - Feminism in traditional Tuong art" is not only an art performance, but also a dialogue, where women are both storytellers and writers of their own stories.
On March 3, news from the Vietnam Tuong Theater said that on March 8, the Theater will return to the capital's Tuong stage with a special art program "Dao leading the way - Feminism in traditional Tuong art".
In traditional Vietnamese opera, "Dao" is the term used to refer to female roles on stage, similar to "Kep" for male roles. The "Dao" characters in opera not only possess graceful beauty but also demonstrate qualities of loyalty, resilience, intelligence and spirit.

In fact, "Dao" is not only a character on stage but also reflects the image of Vietnamese women in history - those who dared to stand up, fight, and take control of their destiny.
Tuong - as the oldest art form in Vietnam - has long portrayed outstanding female characters, not only gentle and soft but also full of heroic spirit.
They are Dao Tam Xuan, Bui Thi Xuan, Trung Trac, Trung Nhi, who have made Vietnamese history famous with their intelligence and bravery... The timeless message from here reflects a society that once bore a strong matriarchal imprint, where women not only kept the family fire burning but also had the courage to lead armies and control their own destiny.
The highlight of the program is the special performances of classic plays with the participation of artists from the Traditional Group - Vietnam Tuong Theater. These are scenes that recreate strong, courageous female characters through the genres of traditional and historical plays.
This program is not only an art performance, but also a dialogue about feminism in traditional culture - where women are not only storytellers, but also writers of their own stories.
The event also brings a contemporary perspective through the combination of Tuong performances with new theatrical elements, bringing a modern breath while still maintaining the traditional spirit. Audiences can also experience the Tuong art exhibition space at Hong Ha theater for free.
The event "Dao leads the way - Feminism in traditional Tuong art" takes place at 8:00 p.m. on March 8, at Hong Ha theater, 51A Duong Thanh, Cua Dong, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi.
