Director Meritorious Artist Vu Xuan Trang brings lesbian drama to the stage "Kath Village"

(NLDO) - The topic of lesbianism is rarely exploited on stage, but "Theatre Hamlet" left a beautiful impression with "The Windless House".

Director Meritorious Artist Vu Xuan Trang awarded graduation certificates to 4 young actresses participating in the play "House without wind"

On the evening of December 28, the "Xom Kich" Stage organized a graduation performance by 4 young actresses with the script "House without wind" written by author and director Meritorious Artist Vu Xuan Trang, inspired by the work "House without men" by the late writer Ngoc Linh.

He cleverly incorporated into the play the identity of a lesbian character who dares to love and dares to fight for happiness.

The mother - the most pitiful character in the play - felt that the whole world was turning its back on her. After being betrayed by her husband, all her love was poured into her two daughters and her younger sister, Cam Tu. However, because of her harsh education and the hatred she instilled in her children towards life and men, her house was left without a single breath of fresh air.

Drama creates conflict and brings a lot of emotions to the audience.

Many directors have successfully staged the play, but Meritorious Artist Vu Xuan Trang has created new psychological changes by letting the character Bao Lan not love men, she openly tells her mother that she is a third world person. And the drama has pulled the audience to the end of the characters' pain. The story told on the stage of "Xom Kich" is what is happening in social life today.

Lesbian theme on stage "Xom Kich" promises to attract audiences

The play has only one setting, a stuffy, oppressive house. Not because the four women living there are incapable of finding lovers. But they are all afraid that Mrs. Kim Tho will find out and live according to her wishes until Bao Lan publicly reveals her gender, An Chi - the youngest daughter is discovered to be pregnant with Dung - the person she loves with all her heart.

And it was Mrs. Kim Tho's (the mother's) unnatural hatred of men that led to her own tragedy. The barriers Mrs. Tho had built for the house could no longer stop the winds, they swept away all the unusual, irregular principles, contrary to the intense desire to be loved of her children, of her sister.

The actors tried to bring many emotions to the audience when coming to the play "House without wind"

In the role of the mother, actress May Trinh plays a harsh and confident character. The character is blind and always thinks that her blindness is necessary to impose on her children, including her sister, to keep the house from storms.

Quynh Nguyen in the role of Cam Tu acted very honestly, gently but heartbreakingly. Luna Pham, with the support of Thuy My, had very impressive climaxes, creating overwhelming emotions for the girl who dared to live true to her gender. Actress Hoang Chau in the role of An Chi had many beautiful quiet moments, her gentle, innocent acting made the audience cry with sympathy for her fate. The roles were all heavy on psychology, requiring more life experience to express inner depth, but all four young actors portrayed them truthfully with their own emotions.

The play also features the participation of actors: Thanh Phuong, Quoc Huy, Yen Thanh... bringing many emotions, welcoming a generation of young actors trained at the "Xom Kich" stage - which has just brought its students 1 Gold Medal and 1 Silver Medal individually at the 1st Ho Chi Minh City Theater Festival in 2024 in the play "Khuc Da Tam".

When moving to the new house at the Experimental Stage of Ho Chi Minh City Dance College, "Drama Village" hopes to create opportunities for young actors to have many good roles to serve the audience, including the play "House without wind".
