Following the direction by the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism on performing online art programs, the Department of Performing Arts presides over and directs theaters under the Ministry to implement online art program named “Fire up” at 05 bridge points: Vietnam Drama Theater, Vietnam Contemporary Art Theater, Vietnam Cheo Theatre, Vietnam Circus.
This is an activity in the series of online art exchange programs themed “Sharing love, overcoming the pandemic”, a theme that runs through all online programs during this period, with the aim of support the Covid-19 pandemic prevention frontline, as well as contribute spiritual food to all audiences during the implementation of social distancing.
Talking about the online art program “Fire up”, the Director of the Vietnam Drama Theater – Meritorious Artist Xuan Bac shared: “Instead of not being able to perform with an audience, the artists will not sit still, but perform and cheer for those on the pandemic prevention front lines and those in the quarantine area, and especially, burning up the belief of victory, burning up the enthusiasm to do the job. Today, it will take place the opening program for the series of art shows and the artists are very excited to contribute more spiritual strength to help our country overcome the pandemic.”
“Fire up” will be led by MC Xuan Bac’s grace and sophistication with emotional exchanges. The mini-games of the program promises to be extremely attractive for all viewers watching online when interacting directly by commenting on the answers below. With all the correct answers, the player participates in the lucky draw. The rewards are useful and very practical products during the pandemic such as Home fitness equipment to improve health (treadmill, weights, skipping rope, etc.) and supporting products such as hand sanitizer, masks, etc.
In particular, the program will also introduce a new work about “small warriors”, about doctors with the meaning of sending words to the doctors, physicians and other forces who are racing and implement the prevention and control of the Covid-19 pandemic and taking care of and treating patients.
The Deputy Director of the Department of Performing Arts Tran Huong Duong said: “The series of online art exchange programs with the theme “Sharing love, overcoming the pandemic” has a great meaning, contributing to timely encouragement of the spirit. The spirit of force is on duty to fight the pandemic and the people of the country so that together we are determined to win the pandemic. The artists were all full of enthusiasm when invited to participate in the program. In the face of the complicated situation of the pandemic, in order not to disrupt the flow of performing arts in the country, it is necessary to have timely support policies and solutions so that professionals can rest assured to dedicate themselves. Building online theaters on social networks and television, and live streaming programs are an inevitable trend for the development of the performing arts.”
