In particular, the performance program promotes and introduces the works "Fatherland Dance Drama" consisting of 4 parts: Imprint of Time, Beyond the Parallel, Inner City War and Triumphal Song. These are plays that are highly appreciated by experts in terms of content and staging, including:
"The Journey to Find the Portrait" (author Khanh Hoang, director Hoang Tan) by the City Drama Theater tells the story of a group of young guerrillas on a journey to find the portrait of Uncle Ho during the chaotic war.
The play is a perspective of Southern children on Uncle Ho. It praises the sacrifice of Uncle Ho's whole life for the successful revolution to unify the country, thereby showing the indomitable spirit of resistance against the enemy's invasion.

The play "Fiery Field" by Quoc Thao Drama Theater (author Ngoc Truc, director People's Artist Tran Minh Ngoc). During the general offensive and uprising in the spring of Mau Than 1968 (phase 2), a tragic event occurred in Vinh Loc commune, Binh Chanh district. On the night of June 15, 1968, on Lang Sau field, groups of frontline laborers were on duty to carry ammunition into the inner city and transport wounded soldiers to the rear when the enemy used many helicopters to raid and shoot down on the field, massacring unarmed civilians and wounded soldiers.
A white light from the helicopters' headlights and hundreds of flares and red projectiles with flames engulfed the field.

Artist Quoc Thao said that in Vinh Loc Commune alone, there were 32 laborers, most of them female, very young, who sacrificed their lives in one night. The event "White Night in Vinh Loc Field" and the "Fiery Crocodile Field" is still a source of deep sorrow for the people of Vinh Loc Commune every time the anniversary of their death comes.
"The play "Fire Field" deeply depicts the fierceness of war, the people's loyalty to the revolution and the brave spirit of the people here in the cause of national liberation. The image of female laborers in their early twenties was brought into the play to honor the value of dedicating their youth to the Fatherland of hard-working mothers who love their children, and the honest people who work hard while hiding wounded soldiers, just hoping for the day of peace. That image is very beautiful and is well received by the audience" - artist Quoc Thao expressed.
The play "Rang tram bau" by Trinh Kim Chi Drama Theater (authors Vu Trinh, Uyen Nhi, director Meritorious Artist Trinh Kim Chi). The content is about a real prototype, that is the martyr - Hero of the People's Armed Forces - Heroic Vietnamese Mother Doan Thi Nghiep in Cai Lay - Tien Giang, who was the Deputy Provincial Team Leader of My Tho Provincial Team. She sacrificed herself in April 1972 in a battle in Cai Lay, Tien Giang.

"Through the image of Mother Doan Thi Nghiep, the play recreates the days of struggle in a riverine countryside in the South. In the midst of the fierceness of war, there is still a resilient yet simple life of honest farmers who always turn their hearts to the revolution, to a day of total victory.
The play brings us to touching stories between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the nostalgia of a wife whose husband is fighting far away, the love between comrades, the love between the army and the people... and especially the life of Vietnamese Heroic Mother Doan Thi Nghiep, a mother, a virtuous wife, a filial daughter-in-law who devoted her life to the cause of national liberation and reunification" - Meritorious Artist Trinh Kim Chi said.
There is also a propaganda performance program introducing the works "Fatherland Dance Drama" consisting of 4 parts: Imprint of Time, Beyond the Parallel, Inner City War and Triumphal Song.
