(Fatherland) On February 21, in Hanoi, the Vietnam Stage Artists Association held the 2024 Stage Awards ceremony and launched the 2025 action plan.
Award A prize to authors and research books.
Evaluating and summarizing the stage arts in 2024, Dr. Nguyen Dang Chuong, Chairman of the Art Council of the Vietnam Stage Artists Association, said that last year there were 5 professional stage arts festivals, including, for the first time, the National Stage Arts Festival for children and adolescents.
There were 94 professional art units in and outside the public sector participating with 109 plays participating in the festivals. This demonstrated the sense of responsibility of the units, the thirst for creativity and the desire to contribute of the artists, with the aspiration to bring stage art closer to the audience.
President of Vietnam Association of Dramatic Artists, People's Artist Thuy Mui presented the A prize in the category of Stage Play of the Year to the Army Drama Theater.
According to Dr. Nguyen Dang Chuong, over the past year, the stage has gradually reduced the number of plays that exploit purely entertaining stories, giving way to political works, social psychology, thematic dramas, stories about history, celebrities, folklore... to convey to the audience messages towards the values of truth, goodness and beauty. Some works on historical topics, celebrities, revolutionary wars, and contemporary times have achieved high quality in terms of ideology, content and art, creating strong emotions and vibrations in the hearts of the audience.
In addition, the quality of works of socialized theater units has had a strong acceleration, changing comprehensively in quantity and quality. 2024 is also the time to affirm the professional stability of a number of directors and performing artists, gradually compensating for the crisis of creative forces.
