Behind the scenes of “My Village Show”
When coming to My Village Show, what audience can’t see is that in order to put together a show that lasts about 60 minutes, it takes months of effort, technically and administratively, to engineer the process. The transport of equipment, the size of the stage, the safety for the performers, and many more backstage steps might sound trivial but take a lot of effort to organize.
“Làng Tôi” is the combination of the traditional materials including bamboo, rafts, folk instruments, and especially typical music from across the region in Vietnam. Folk music from the highlands in both central and northwestern parts of the country also performed in the show.
Organizers of the show said the selection of music from all three regions was intentional because the emphasis was on the idea of a Vietnamese village. Watching the show and audience can find a bit of their own in the piece. Everything is meticulously calculated and jointed perfectly.
