The work “Sac xoan” is a slice of the unique intangible cultural form of the land of Hung Kings – Phu Tho xoan singing. In the ancient space of the village communal house, the artists wear bright red ao dai, blending with the drum beats, singing, and graceful dances. Every step, every look carries the soul of a heritage recognized by UNESCO as a representative intangible cultural heritage of humanity. Xoan singing is not only a performing art, but also a tribute to ancestors, the voice of the community during the spring festivals. The work “Sac xoan” is like an invitation for viewers to enter the world of traditional sounds, where the past and present blend in every rhythm.
