Going to art exhibitions is not something I regularly do. Lucky for me, my friend suggested we go. Knowing very little about what I was about to see, I was happy to be introduced to yet more Vietnamese culture.
Every day I seem to learn something new about this wonderful country. Vietnam has many traditions and Vietnamese classical opera is one of them.
Just as a disclaimer, I may not get all the facts straight, between translation and remembering what my friend told me. I'll give you my best though ;)
What is Hat Boi?
Hat Boi also known as Hat Bo or Hat Tuong is a Vietnamese classical opera dating back centuries originating from China.
Traditionally performed on stage, the opera is a huge operation involving countless artists and actors to create a performance.
This exhibition named "Ve Ve Hat Boi" took 3 months, 40 artists and 100 project members across Vietnam to preserve promote and shine a new light on the traditional art of Vietnam.
I really enjoyed the exhibition; you can check their Ve Ve Hat Boi Facebook page for more info. If you live in Saigon, you only have another day or two to visit.
I hope you enjoy my photos captured.
Until the next time, enjoy the journey!
Keep it real
