Coming to My Village Show, you will be awakened in the familiar village of the North with a morning which has many daily activities of the local people. The chicken’s crow soon pulls the sun up after the bamboo stacks, the farmers prepare to work with strong spirit and an enthusiastic heart.

My Village gives you a real picture, the scenery of the village in the North that you can’t find anywhere else: the crystal and clear flute’s voice of the child in the early afternoon during herding buffalos, the fair session crowed, full of special identity. This poetic rural scene is as if seen through the lens of a native son who looks deep into of Vietnamese culture and contemplating its poetic beauty.

Throughout My Village is the image of the bamboo trees-the soul of the Vietnamese rural lands, attached to the village of Tonkin for many generations. Bamboos and Vietnamese built their country together from the reclamation, with Vietnamese fight against the invaders to protect the country, protect the independence. Bamboos have already become an image of immortality and irreplaceable in the culture of the village. Persistence, downrightness, power, and indomitability.

Breaking away from a circus My Village is a unique combination of music, poetry and performance art, based on the materials which are the cultural quintessence of the village. My Village is a fairly new art form in Vietnam, but with the ingenious combination of performing arts and the involvement of more than 20 traditional instruments, My Village probably brought to the audience the impression that can’t be forgotten easily.
