Hanoi Cultural Space: Thang Long's mark in the midst of the 2025 World Cultural Festival

VHO - In the brilliant space of the first World Cultural Festival in Hanoi, "Hanoi Cultural Space" designed and operated by Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre has created a special mark, recreating the elegant, sophisticated beauty and strong identity of the thousand-year-old capital.

Hanoi cultural space designed by Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre has highlighted the unique cultural features of the capital.

Within the framework of the Festival, the Hanoi Cultural Space designed and operated by Thang Long Water Puppetry Theatre attracted a large audience, becoming a special highlight recreating the depth of the capital's culture.

From the dominant red color evoking the image of Khue Van Cac - the symbol of Hanoi to the corners displaying traditional crafts such as silk reeling, silk weaving, paper fan making, lacquerware, and ceramic art, every detail carries the breath of the old streets, associated with stories about the elegant and skillful people of Hanoi.

The open, intimate space, where artisans chat with visitors and children can touch gold silk, fan blades, ceramic jars, etc., has created a "living stage" of heritage.

In addition to the exhibition, Thang Long Puppetry Theatre also organizes a series of water puppet and stage puppet performances, folk dances, and traditional music performances, helping international visitors explore Vietnamese culture both visually and emotionally.

According to Meritorious Artist Tran Thi Hien, Director of Thang Long Puppetry Theatre, “Hanoi Cultural Space not only introduces ancient crafts and folk arts but also conveys a message about the continuation of tradition in modern life. Each puppet and each melody carries within it the breath of Thang Long today.”

Hanoi cultural space is crowded with visitors

In the first days of the Festival, Hanoi Cultural Space was always crowded with visitors, especially foreign tourists. They stopped before the water puppet performances, fascinated by silk reeling techniques, admiring the lacquer vases, ao dai, paper fans, all telling the story of “The Heart of Vietnam - Hanoi”.

Visitors, if interested, will be thoroughly introduced by artists about the stages of creating and performing traditional water puppetry.

With its lively, creative and traditional performance, Hanoi Cultural Space has contributed to affirming the position of Thang Long Water Puppetry Theatre - not only a famous art address but also a "cultural storyteller" of the Capital in the flow of international integration.
