Comediants and Vietnamese artists from the Circus Federation of Vietnam
took place at the My Dinh National Stadium in Tu Liem district, Hanoi
on Oct. 2 to celebrate Hanoi ’s millennium anniversary.
The art programme, which was jointly held by the Ministry of Culture,
Sports and Tourism, the Hanoi People’s Committee and Spanish Embassy,
featured music, acrobatics, dance and spectacular fireworks, depicting
the legend of the birth of the city mixing elements of Vietnamese
culture with a Spanish perspective.
It combined
the musical language and aesthetics of one of Vietnam’s most popular
dragon legends and the Spanish spirit fire to tell about the royal
proclamation of King Ly Thai To to transfer the capital from Hoa Lu to
Thang Long in 1010.
The show started with a dragon
waking up after a long sleep and breathing fire into the sky, to create
the islands of Ha Long Bay. Then the islands become greener and more
beautiful waking up other gods.
The centerpiece of
the stage was a big dragon, ten meters wide and ten meters tall with its
moving eyes to express emotion.
