The experimental play "We Talk to Ourselves" (author, director Doan Khoa) was warmly received by the audience after 5 performances at the Experimental Theater of Ho Chi Minh City Dance School.
If the author is the first creator, creating personalities for the characters; the director is the second creator, arranging and reasonably framing the characters for the actors; and finally the actors are the ones who decide the success of the play on stage, then in "We Talk to Ourselves" director Doan Khoa had a complete experiment.
In "We Talk to Ourselves" - Doan Khoa is both the author and the director, and also the actor. From the actor's perspective - Doan Khoa expanded the script for each actor to receive and summarize through the performances to clarify the character's personality. Doan Khoa also broke all the familiar barriers of playwriting, chose a separate path, entered into awareness to correct and admonish himself.

The staging and lighting in "We Talk to Ourselves" are also handled in a new way to save the most music. Because according to Doan Khoa, the breath of life is silence to receive. With these new experiences, the audience has found sympathy in the characters, and then suddenly realized themselves in the dramatic story.
Behind the scenes of this experimental play also has a lot of positive information, first of all, the role of the woman - Doan Khoa was "tailored" for artist Tu Trinh, but she refused because "I'm old now, very slow, if I go on stage and forget my lines, it will "spoil" the play". Director Doan Khoa also confessed that it was this refusal that made him feel relieved. Because once on stage, the actor must live with the character in the true sense, and cannot easily act while waiting for the cue.
Director Doan Khoa also revealed that the reason he took on the role of an actor was because he "couldn't turn around". The audience was moved by Doan Khoa's role as a "street lamp", some people burst into tears at the detail of the street lamp carefully holding a music box after the explosion woke them up. Doan Khoa - just by his body, eyes and breath, made the whole audience moved.
Along with the experimental play "We talk to ourselves", the Ho Chi Minh City stage has just added a new type of drama - absurd drama. Artist Chinh Ba introduced to the Ho Chi Minh City audience the absurd drama genre with the play "They ordered and rolled on the sand, the ocean waves and the tumbleweeds" (recently performed at a studio in Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City), this play has also been widely received by the audience. According to artist Chinh Ba, performing a new type of drama aims to diversify the types of art enjoyment for the public, especially young audiences.
It can be said that the stage today and tomorrow will not die, the audience will not turn their backs as long as the artist still does his job with self-respect and kindness, still burning the artist's energy on the stage.
