Art programme celebrates Dien Bien Phu victory.
The programme helps audiences look back at the milestones of Dien Bien Phu from 65 years ago through a combination of current experiences and reminiscing on the past, art and analysis. The programme brought many emotions and impressions to the hearts of audiences as well as Dien Bien people, especially former Dien Bien soldiers.For the first time, the programme created a historic rendezvous for Vietnamese and French, who meet through memories and connect with each other through the experiences of the present.
Through the stories in the programme, the generations of descendants, who have never gone through war, have an opportunity to understand the values of the nation and of peace.
At the end of May, the Hoa Binh Provincial Ethnic Arts Troupe organized a series of performances for residents in Region 2 and Region 3 communes across the province. Bringing art to ethnic communities in remote, isolated, and especially disadvantaged areas has become a meaningful activity. These are not merely artistic performances but also journeys to disseminate cultural values, enrich spiritual life, and contribute to preserving the cultural identity of ethnic minorities.
