The anticipation is building for the staging of the new musical play "Lửa từ đất," which aims to honor the monumental 95th anniversary of the first Party Committee of Hanoi. Scheduled to premiere on March 15 and 16, 2025, at the Cung Văn hóa Lao động hữu nghị Việt Xô, this production promises to be both educational and entertaining as it recreates the rich history surrounding the origins of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
"Lửa từ đất" is directed by the esteemed NSƯT Cao Ngọc Ánh and written by skilled playwright Lê Quý Hiền. This musical is not merely another theatrical performance; it is intended as poignant storytelling woven from the fabric of Vietnam’s revolutionary history. The narrative uniquely centers around the life and contributions of Nguyễn Ngọc Vũ, who served as the first Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee.
During today’s press conference held at the Youth Theater, the creators shared their vision for the play. "We aim to deliver emotional depth through the characters based on real historical figures," stated Lê Quý Hiền. This sentiment was reiterated by NSƯT Cao Ngọc Ánh, who emphasized, "The play features poignant performances from talented artists and is aimed at portraying the spirit of the people and the Party from the early days of its founding."
The play captures significant events from 1930, when the Communist Party of Vietnam was just beginning its historic role on the political stage. The intention is to instill pride and reflection among viewers as they witness the artistic interpretation of their national identity.
The casting and musical composition have also been noteworthy, with music arranged by Bùi Minh Đạo, who previously articulated, "This musical will resonate with audiences, showcasing our rich historical narrative." The combination of music, choreography, and dramatic storytelling aims to provide audiences with not just entertainment but also enlightenment about their history.
Following its inaugural performances, "Lửa từ đất" is set to tour various theaters across Hanoi. The play will not only be performed at large venues but also reach audiences directly within local districts, fostering community engagement and accessibility to cultural heritage.
This initiative reflects the broader commitment of the youth theater and the Department of Culture and Sports of Hanoi to promote national culture and educate younger generations about the importance of their historical roots. Through these performances, the creators hope to instill pride and encourage discourse around the nation's past.
Overall, "Lửa từ đất" symbolizes more than just historical recounting; it is part of the movement to preserve and celebrate cultural heritage through the performing arts. With the successful development and staging of such works, there's potential for increased appreciation of Vietnam's rich artistic and political history, ensuring future generations remain connected to their national identity.
