Chairman of the Vietnam Union of Literature and Arts Associations Do Hong Quan and Chairman of the Vietnam Stage Artists Association Trinh Thuy Mui presented the B prize for the 2023 stage play award.
Speaking at the summary of the stage works, playwright, Dr. Nguyen Dang Chuong, Chairman of the Art Council, said that the 2023 Stage Awards did not have an A prize, for both plays and literary scripts. The Art Council had to sift through the mud to select a number of B prizes. Faced with the bleak reality of the stage last year, the Art Council realized that the urgent task was to clearly identify the obstacles, difficulties, and existential deadlocks that stage art is facing; from there, find out the causes, and have real solutions so that stage art can take off.
According to Dr. Nguyen Dang Chuong, the Vietnam Writers Association currently has 218 members, both professional and non-professional authors. However, the number of authors whose scripts are regularly staged in professional art units can be counted on the fingers. In recent years, the team of authors has been stuck in creative directions, ways of receiving and explaining the conflicts of today's society and people. Perhaps because of this deadlock, most authors choose to write about historical and folk themes and do not dare to reflect all aspects of contemporary life. If we rely on history and folklore to convey new messages that are useful for today's life, that is also very valuable. However, most of the works have only reached the level of historical illustration.
Dr. Nguyen Dang Chuong frankly acknowledged that today's audience needs authors to give highly predictive directional messages from real life; to truly reflect the developments in people and society to explain and contribute to a better life; to convey the joy, happiness, and bitterness of people in modern life, to expand on the beautiful human things, and to remove what is becoming an obstacle, blocking the way for development. "Perhaps this is also one of the fundamental reasons why the stage is so dull and boring" - Dr. Nguyen Dang Chuong said.
