The association will organise a seminar on the merger and socialisation of the stage art units in Quang Ninh province and a conference on the stage industry in Vietnam and the world.

In addition, a wide range of festivals will be held nationwide including a theatrical art festival on the image of public security soldiers (in July); the National Tuong (Classical Drama) and Folk Singing Youth Talent Festival in Binh Dinh province (in August); the fourth Capital Stage Festival and the National Cai Luong (reformed opera) Youth Talent Festival in Ca Mau province.

Earlier in May, the association launched a writing camp in Da Lat city, Lam Dong province, with the participation of 20 artists who created many high quality scripts across different art forms.

Another camp is scheduled to be held in the Dai Lai tourist area in Vinh Phuc province; meanwhile, many field trips to the seas, islands and industrial and agricultural economic areas will also be organised for the artists.

Bringing art to remote areas - promoting ethnic culture

Hoa Binh city - Vibrant community activities at cultural houses

Building a cultural conservation area for Muong ethnic group in Luy Ai hamlet

Phong Phu commune, Tan Lac district of Hoa Binh province, is widely regarded as the cultural heartland of the Muong ethnic group. Among its many traditional communities, Luy Ai hamlet (formerly Ai hamlet) stands out as a rare location where the customs and way of life of the Muong Bi people remain largely intact.

Truong Kha temple festival celebrates Muong cultural heritage

The Truong Kha temple festival, a distinctive cultural event held every three years in Vu Ban township, Lac Son district, returned recently with vibrant rituals and folk traditions of the Muong people. Located next to the Buoi River in the Muong Trao fields, the Truong Kha Temple is dedicated to the three Kun Dol deities, revered for teaching farming techniques, irrigation, weaving, and protecting the harvest.

Hoa Binh city residents enjoy upgraded cultural houses

The demand for spaces serving community activities of residents in various areas across Hoa Binh city has been satisfied as local cultural houses now feature modern, spacious facilities thanks to the effective implementation of Resolution No. 49/NQ-HDND issued on December 28, 2021 by the city People's Council, which approved the plan for reorganising, converting, and allocating land for the construction, repair, and expansion of cultural houses in Hoa Binh’s villages and residential areas until 2025.

Enhancing cultural and spiritual life in remote and ethnic minority areas

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.
