Meritorious Artist Vu Xuan Trang celebrates "Xom Kich"'s 1st birthday with a youthful comedy

NSƯT Vũ Xuân Trang mừng sinh nhật 1 tuổi — Meritorious Artist Vu Xuan Trang and his wife - artist Hoang Thy celebrate the 1st birthday of the "Drama Hamlet" theater

On the evening of April 13, the "Drama Hamlet" stage of the couple Meritorious Artist Vu Xuan Trang - Hoang Thy held a performance to celebrate their 1st birthday with the comedy "Oh... so funny!" (script: Nha Uyen - Thanh Phuong - Quoc Huy, director: Meritorious Artist Vu Xuan Trang).

A large audience, artists who are lecturers who have accompanied the "Drama Hamlet" stage, were present to cheer on the first comedy play of the Smile Theater stage located in the grounds of the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Culture Palace.

"Wow... so funny!" Just hearing the title, you can see the very Saigonese language of the crew and more prominently, they are all performed by young resources trained from "Xom Kich".

Meritorious Artist Vu Xuan Trang in the role of Mr. Han and artist Hoang Thy in the role of Mrs. Hoang have wholeheartedly supported the young actors who have been mentored and supported by them.

Among them, the names were initially unfamiliar to the audience, but through some plays of "Xom Kich" they gradually became familiar such as: Quynh Nhi (as Quynh), Si Nguyen (as Ong Si), Thanh Phuong (as Thanh), Yen Thanh (as Yen), Nha Uyen (as Nha), Quoc Huy (as Quoc), Tyva Lam (as Mrs. Tuyet), Thanh An (as Cong), Thuy My (as Thuy), Minh Nhat (as Minh), Nhat Quan (as Nhat), Le Quoc Minh (as Le), Minh Dat (as My), Hang Nga (as Hang) and child actor Ho Minh Tu (as Ho).

The story is very simple, about a boarding house where, according to Meritorious Artist Vu Xuan Trang confided at the end of the play, he and his wife once lived in a poor neighborhood, with all kinds of lives, each with very… funny circumstances.

Every day, their problems arise from family conflicts, spreading to the neighborhood, sometimes the story is not worth making a fuss about, but then that "nonsense" creates situations that are both funny and sad. The pressure of staging a play with so many actors, so that each actor has a fate, a story is a big iceberg weighing on director Vu Xuan Trang's head.

But then it is to solve that difficult problem because no one else but the resource that he holds in his hands is the students who have shared the joys and sorrows with him from the basic class to the advanced class. The message of the play exudes a precious issue about Ho Chi Minh City, a civilized, modern and affectionate city.

It was humanity that helped Mr. Sy find his relatives, resolve all marital conflicts, and make him love the poor neighborhood even more, living in harmony and being closer than blood relatives.

The dramatic story makes the audience sit until the end, watching, laughing and being surprised by each situation, perhaps because it is more similar to the essence of "Drama Village" than ever. There are also students who work during the day to earn a living, and at night gather with teachers and friends to practice.

There were tears shed when there was not enough tuition, the teachers did not accept money, then they united and created a "Drama Village". Therefore, the play "Oh... so funny!" seemed to be about them, a group of unknown people, gathered together, everyone thought they had teachers who were too reckless, too "crazy".

Nowadays, people spend money to make plays, rent theaters, and even if there are shows that don't cover the cost, they still keep the lights on, as long as they can see their students looking beautiful and neat under the stage lights.

In the end, they were also very… funny, the true funny of artists, if you like it, jump in, commit and it will become a path. And a year has passed, so many cherished projects, they have achieved step by step and are satisfied. The flower baskets, cakes, and birthday songs that resounded in the night were the new medicine for Meritorious Artist Vu Xuan Trang and her husband to have the motivation to move forward.

On the occasion of its birthday, the "Xom Kich" theater has applied a special promotion program for all plays throughout April. Audiences who buy 2 tickets will receive a 10% discount, those who buy 3 tickets will receive 1 more ticket for free, and many other forms of gratitude to the audience.

The birthday night was also the night to welcome a new actor training course, along with a class of screenwriters that "Xom Kich" had trained. Experts commented that perhaps from this quiet work of Meritorious Artist Vu Xuan Trang and her husband, Ho Chi Minh City drama will have a new source of human resources. They work, learn, produce products and summarize their own experiences on the path they have chosen.

Writer and director Nguyen Thi Minh Ngoc came to see the play "Oh... so funny!". She was the teacher who trained Meritorious Artist Vu Xuan Trang when she was a college student at the Ho Chi Minh City College of Theater and Cinema (now the Ho Chi Minh City University of Theater and Cinema): "I am very happy for the passion of the two students, they are following the difficult path that I chose 30 years ago. From this transmission, they will make things happen."
