Interesting radio play Chi Pheo

Director Vu Phuc An adapted Nam Cao's short story Chi Pheo into a stage play. But when it was put on stage, the work was only "performed" with sound and voice, performed by the group Loc Coc Leng Keng.

Young people like Vu Phuc An founded this group with the purpose of using sound to convey the play. The words Loc Coc Leng Keng "evoke" sound. And that sound comes from the actors' voices, from musical instruments such as the zither, flute, flute, drum... to form the whole world of the characters, of wind, birds, frogs, water, footsteps, broken glasses, fights, and countless other sound effects... Therefore, "the audience does not depend on the image of the actors, but lets their imagination fly, creating one more time", Vu Phuc An shared.

There were only a few actors on stage, such as Meritorious Artist Huy Thuc as Ba Kien, Quoc Viet as Ly Cuong, Aaron Toronto as Chi Pheo, Cam Linh as Ba Co, Nguyen Hong Van as Thi No, but they captivated the audience with their lively voices. Especially surprising was Aaron Toronto, an American, director of the film Dem toi ruc ro , who had 30 years of exposure to the Vietnamese language, so he spoke like a native, and although he spoke with a Saigon accent, when he entered the play, he dramatically switched to a Northern accent. He was so passionate about the play that he memorized his lines, and when he went on stage he didn't need to hold the script like his colleagues.

The audience listened in silence, then applauded loudly. Many people thought that the drama group should perform regularly in schools, as one literature teacher suggested.
