“Thai Cultural Weekend” opens in Hanoi
The Thai Cultural Weekend, jointly organized by the Vietnam
Museum of Ethnology, Thai Embassy in Vietnam and Bunditpatanasilpa Institute
under Thai Ministry of Culture took place from March 28-29 in Hanoi.
Visitors to a weekend Thai festival can mingle with artistic dance performers
and learn about the country's cuisine.
The Bunditpatanasilpa Institute sent 25 artists to perform traditional and
contemporary dance pieces including Khon (Ramayana masked dance), the
four-region dance, a dance worshipping the god king and a cock-fighting dance.
Khon is the most stylised Thai dance form. It is performed by troupes of silent
dancers, while a stage-side chorus tells a story to go along with the
traditional choreography. Costumes are dictated by tradition, with good and evil
angels wearing colourful masks.
This event marks the beginning of a series of cultural events held under the
Cultural Co-operation Agreement between Thailand and Vietnam. It was signed
during Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha's official visit to Vietnam last
year.
Ambassador of Thailand to Vietnam Panyarak Poolthup hoped that through dances of
different Thai regions, the Vietnamese would know more about the diversity of
the art genres of Thailand, making contributions to bringing Thai and Vietnamese
people together..
