Artists from the Gyeonggi Dance Association from South Korea performed “The Dance of Time: Tradition & Modernity” at Duyet Thi Duong Theatre on November 22.
This is an activity within the Hue Festival 2024’s winter session, responding to the Vietnamese Cultural Heritage Day (November 23).
The show features seven acts, combining traditional Korean dances—such as “Tae Pyung Mu” (Dance of Peace), Crane Dance, “Ganggu Yeonwol Mu,” and “Palbag-sugeon-chum”—with contemporary choreography reflecting aspects of love, modern life, and society, including “Glitch” “Dear Birth from Death” and “Longing”. These performances promise to evoke a range of emotions from the audience.
